AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
wide and long. Rather a delicate plant in the stove. 
1 suspect that it will be found on the coast between 
Carthagena and Portobello. 
8. Angusta.— P.angustum. Bot. Reg. 3. 221. This plant 
has broader and more arcuate foliage than Tenui- 
flora, to which it approximates in the slenderness 
of its flowers, but the tube of its flower is under 
two inches. It requires a high temperature, and 
was knowm in our nurseries by the name of P. lito- 
rale, before it was figured under the name Angusta. 
Mr. Kennedy of the Hammersmith nursery, where 
it was first introduced, asserted that it was the South 
American sea-side plant. I entertain very little 
doubt that either this plant or Tenuiflora is the 
true litoralis that grows on the island Tierra Bomba, 
near Carthagena, and on the. coast from thence to 
Portobello ; and that Jacquin, by some confusion 
of labels, has affixed the name erroneously to a 
Mexican plant. See 12. Adnata, var. 1. 
9. Pedalis. — P. pedale. Lodd. B. C. 809. Bot. Reg. 19. 
1641. fig. non laudanda, tubo nimis gracili, nisi 
varietas sit minus speciosa et mihi ignota. A large 
species with green arcuate leaves, about 2 feet long, 
2 inches wide, acute, attenuated below ; robust 
flowers a foot long, limb about 5, tube 7 inches. 
Introduced by Mr. Shepherd of the Liverpool gar- 
den. Locality not ascertained. 
10. Caymanensis. — P. patens. Lindley Hort. Soc. Tr. 6. 
87. non Redoute. Folia saturate viridia, nitentia, 
tripedalia, 2^ unc. lata, canaliculata, arcuata, acuta; 
tubus limbo longior, Caribsese tubo gracilior. Leaves 
dark glossy green, about 3 feet long, 2^ inches 
wide, channelled, arcuate, acute. This plant does 
not agree with Patens of Redoute, which has the 
tube shorter than the limb. It is a native of the 
island called Grand Cayman, and has foliage more 
like that of pedalis than of any other species, the 
tube longer than the limb, and not so thick as in 
the Caribsean family, which have all the tube 
shorter than the limb. 
C. Loratce, suberectce ; Septentrionales. Leaves lorate, 
suberect; N. Hemisphere.
