vlore. Leaves filiform, scape 2-3 inches, pedun- 
cles germen i, tube limb from 3 to 5-16ths, 
white, sepals red outside, style shorter than the 
limb, spathe slit at the point. This plant is still 
more minute than the former, and not funnel- 
shaped to the base in the dry specimen, but more 
tubular. 
8. Carinata. — Bot. Mag. 52. 2594. — Zeph. grandiflora. 
Bot. Reg. 11. 992. quoad florem, non quoad folia 
et sem. Leaves 5-16ths wide, channelled, keeled, 
green, red at the base ; spathe longer than the 
peduncle, slit partly on one side, tube green, f 
long, limb rose-coloured, 2 inches long ; anthers 
long, style white. From Mexico. Dr. Lindley 
has withdrawn the name Grandiflora, because the 
plate and description of Grandiflora in the Register 
appertains to this species as to the flower, and to 
Lindleyana as to the leaf and seed, through a 
mistake of the gardener. A most beautiful species 
flowering abundantly in the greenhouse (if kept 
quite dry in the winter) in light sandy loam. I 
have never seen it make any advance towards the 
formation of seed, though tried in various aspects 
and temperatures, but a mule as above stated has 
been obtained from its pollen. 
9. Rosea. — Bot. Reg. 10. 821. Bot. Mag. 52. 2537. 
Leaves bright green, narrow, recumbent; flower 
much smaller than Carinata, segments rather 
obtuse, rose-coloured. Native of the mountains in 
Cuba; a greenhouse plant, but its flowering is 
promoted by heat in the summer. 
Var. 2. Bifolia. — Lamark Enc. 1. 122. Poirret Enc. 
Sup. 1. 316. Leaves acute, usually two, one a foot, 
one four inches long (probably so only at the mo- 
ment of flowering) ; scape a foot, as thick as a pen ; 
limb an inch long; filaments shorter; stigma tri- 
fid. In the woods of St. Domingo and Cayenne. 
Bulb a little longer than a nut. They cite Plunder 
M. S. t. 3. f. 137. Plum. cat. 7. and Aubl. H. Guin. 
304. No. 3. There appears nothing to distinguish 
it from Rosea but the alleged habit of the leaves, 
and a more robust scape. A native of Cuba would
