These two plants seem to form a link between multiflorus 
and puniceus, and shew that the genus takes a wide range 
in Africa. It is impossible from the dry specimen to be 
certain whether the limb is patent as in multiflora or not. 
B. Limb erect. 
4. Puniceus. — Bot. Mag. 32. 1315. Lodd. B. C. 912.

Bulbo unc. lat. foliis 6-unc. i unc. lat. undulatis- 
simis, erectis ; scapo 2- unc. spatha coccinea, sub- 
unc. filarnentis alternis stylo longioribus. This 
curious little plant has lain long unnoticed in the 
Banks. Herb, having been one of Masson’s collec- 
tion. The inflorescence is almost destroyed, but 
one flower and part of three valves of a scarlet 
spathe remain. The bulb seems to approach to 
that of the first section, and is not imbricated. 
§. 3. Foliis non vaginantibus , non undulatis ; bulbo com - 
presso imbricato. Leaves not sheathing, not undu- 
lated ; bulb compressed, imbricated.
