AMAUYLLIDACEiE. 
5. Augustum. — Bot. Mag. 50. 2397. Bot. Reg. 8. 679. 
Hybndum spontaneum. Received at Calcutta from 
Mauritius, where it is said to be indigenous. Bar- 
ren like Amabile, and apparently a cross be- 
tween Bracteatum and Zeylanicum. It is of 
smaller stature than Amabile, with more obtuse 
leaves. It is much to be wished that the natural 
production and reproduction of these two remark- 
able plants were investigated. We have no cer- 
tainty whether they are frequently produced, or 
whether the cultivated plants are all offsets from 
one respective original.
