AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
and under. A delicate plant, apt to rot ; probably 
a native of dry situations. It should certainly not 
be planted in peat.

var. citrina. Bot. Reg. 10. 849. Specim. septem-

Spec. 4-florum. Am. advena, Cumming. Valpa- 
raiso. 183. Herb. Lindl. Leaves less channelled, 
more glaucous and recumbent than those of Ad- 
vena, i wide, obtuse ; flowers 2-7, pale yellow, 
sometimes tinged with red ; varying in different 
individuals between sulphur, white, and red ; pe- 
duncles shorter than in Advena ; umbel more 
numerous than Chilensis. 
Var. 3. Miniatus. — PI. 26. f. 2. Sweet Brit. fl. g. ser. 2. 
213. Specim. ex Valparaiso, Cumming, 355. Herb. 
Hooker, with the scape 85 inches, spathe 3 inches 
acuminate, peduncles J- to 2^, perianth patent, If 
long, segments acute, style trifid, half an inch 
shorter, but a little longer than the filaments ; 
upper sepaline filament little elongated, but not 
equal, as stated by Sweet ; leaves wanting, said by 
Sweet to be glaucous. Faucial membrane not re- 
corded, but it will probably be found to agree with 
A dvena and Pallidus, under which expectation I ven- 
ture to include it under a name implying that they 
inhabit the extreme West. I do not believe the seed 
of Advena would ever produce Pallidus, and it 
would be incorrect to call the latter a variety of the 
former; but where the distinction, however perma- 
nent, is not great, it will be found very convenient 
to unite those which agree in most essential points 
under a superior name, which produces no change 
in the nomenclature, but gives a clear view of the 
affinities of the local variations of the genus. 
12. Bagnoldianus. — Bot. Reg. 17. 1396. Specim. Cum- 
ming ex Coquimbo. Herb. Hooker. Bulb large, 
black; leaves obtuse, glaucous, f wide ; scape green, 
6-flowered ; peduncles 3 inches and under, tube a,

pale red, especially on the three upper segments ; 
upper sepaline filament much prolonged, and lower
