not the case. These seedlings are much disposed to increase 
by offsets. 
4. Ovalifolia. — Lodd. B. C. 510. This is a very small 
and delicate species, quite distinct from the variety 
of Amcenum, to which the name ovatum had been 
previously given. It has small oval recumbent 
leaves. It has been lost at Spofforth and Hackney; 
I know not whether it is preserved at Liverpool, 
where it was first introduced by Mr. Shepherd. I 
never saw it in flower, but do not doubt the cor- 
rectness of the figure cited. The flowers are very 
slender.

Cinerascens is nowhere figured or described ; it is 
closely akin to the preceding, but has the limb and 
style much more prolonged ; leaves 19-20, 20 inches 
long, 2f to 3 inches wide, more obtuse, and of a 
pale, dull, cinereous green. 
Var. 3. Patens. — P. patens. Red. lil. 380. et nota ad

men and tube 3 inches long, limb near 4. 
I cannot find that there exists in any collection or her- 
barium such a plant as Patens of Redoute distinct from his 
Declinatum, which is H. Caribaea, var. 1. or princeps. It 
seems to be distinguished from that plant as a variety by
