AMARYLLIDACE^E. 
nia. R. et Schultes. Leaves petiolated, 3 palms 
long and half a palm wide ; scape 1 foot, flowers 
5, two inches long, lower half of the limb yellow, 
upper green with white edges ; filaments and style 
longer than the limb. Grows in the woods of the 
Andes at Pozuzo, and in the district of Pampa- 
marca in Peru ; and flowers from June to November. 
The size of the flower is probably grossly exagge- 
rated in the plate in the Flor. Peruv. If it is not, 
the plant I have named Fulva is very different 
from it. 
2. Fulva. — PI. 26. fig. 5. Specim. Matthews, 868. C. 
urceolatum. Herb. Hooker. Petiole 4 inches, leaf 
9 inches by 4 ; scape 7J, spatlie 2 inches, with five 
valves ; peduncles of various length, flowers eight, 
germen ovate, tube slender, above half an inch 
long, limb near an inch (tawny, with pale margins, 
and tipped with green ?) filaments and style longer 
than the limb. Found at Parcahuanca in Peru in 
December. 
This may perhaps be only a variety of the former, but its 
flowers are smaller and more numerous, and its colour seem- 
ingly different : Ruiz states five to be the number of flowers 
in the first species. This is distinguishable from Leperiza 
(Ruiz’s Pancratium latifolium) by no outward feature besides 
the supposed absence of a cup, but a longer and slenderer 
tube and broader leaf; and I consider the two genera to be 
so closely allied, that I think some attempt to form a mem- 
branous cup must be found in this genus when better known. 
Under that persuasion I place it in this section. If there is 
no exhibition of the membrane, it must be removed to the 
second section, after Lapiedra. The plants which I possess, 
probably the second species, produce from two to three leaves, 
which suffer very much if exposed to a hot sun, from which 
they require to be screened. They must be kept quite dr} r 
in winter in the greenhouse, and in very hot weather I found 
it advisable to place them out of doors behind a north wall. 
They are accustomed to the shade of woods. The bulbs in- 
crease by offsets, of which the leaf pushes up at some dis- 
tance from the parent. The leaf is much like that of Eucro- 
sia and Griffinia, but with a longer and slenderer footstalk ; 
the habit precisely that of Eucrosia. It seems to dislike
