section, which has exactly the opposite discrepancy of fila- 
ments. 
16. Sylvaticus. — Martius ap. Schultes. Leaves shorter 
than the spathe, 1 line and ^ wide; scape green, 
4\ inches; spathe 15 lines, one-third divided; 
peduncle 14-15 lines; germen ovate, 1£ line; 
perianth inclined, 2| inches ; tube half an inch, 
green, with a thin faucial membrane; limb funnel- 
shaped, green below, above purplish scarlet ; upper 
sepaline filament prolonged, lower petaline abbre- 
viated. In the woods called Catingas, of the pro- 
vince of Bahia. There are lofty Sierras in Bahia, 
where I suppose this plant is found ; for the genus 
Habranthus, so far as we know, only exists in tem- 
perate situations. 
§.3. Uni florae. — One-flowered. 
Filamento sepalino supcriore abbreviato. Upper sepa- 
line filament shorter. 
17. Versicolor. — Bot. Mag. 51. 2485. Leaves ^ inch 
wide, above a foot long, acute ; scape, spathe, and 
perianth at first rosy, fading before expansion ; 
perianth two inches long, white tinged with pink, 
tipped with red and lined below with red, on each 
side of a green midrib; stigma large, white, trifid, 
patent ; faucial membrane fimbriated. If my dis- 
section of the flower in the Bot. Mag. is correct, it 
disagrees with Robustus and Andersonianus in the 
prolongation of the lower sepaline filament. I have 
had no opportunity of re-examining it since the 
introduction of those species, my gardener having 
destroyed the bulbs of Versicolor by watering them 
during the season of rest.

Cab. 1761. Am. tubispatha. L’Her. S. Ang. 9. 
Am. Berteri. Spreng. S. V. 2. 49. Leaves sub- 
glaucous, channelled, scape robust, spathe undi- 
vided two-thirds of its length, a little shorter than 
the peduncle ; flower 3| inches long, much de- 
clined, purplish pink fading to white; tube scarcely 
any ; faucial membrane greenish, fimbriated ? 
sepals much wider than the petals, but four grada-
