AMARYLLIDACE.E. 
time of flowering, fine green, deeply channelled, 
smooth, obtuse ; umbel 4-5-flowered ; perianth red 
on the outside, variegated with red and yellow 
within ; tube about one inch long, one line wide 
at the bottom, enlarged upwards ; limb with 
rounded lobes. Found on mountains of Chili, 
and in 17° 39' south lat. which must be in La 
Paz of Peru. It is possible that this plant may 
be a Clinanthus, but I have very little doubt in 
referring it to Coburghia, and 1 apprehend that 
it must be allied to Fulva.
