appears to agree with Cruentum except as to the 
length of the style, which is a variable feature. It 
is not accompanied by the leaf, but was gathered 
in the month of August at San Bartolo in Mexican 
Oaxaca by Mr. Andrieux (No. 74.), and I think 
it must be a variety (probably a hardier one) of 
either Cruentum or Loddigesianum. I have a 
seedling from Cruentum, of which the flower tends 
a little more to white. 
12. Erubescens. — Folia arcuata margine scabro, spatio 
inter nervos medios apiculato, perianthio tubuloso, 
antheris cinereis, polline aureo. Leaves arched, 
margin rough, with a point prolonged from the 
space between the two mid veins, tube long, an- 
thers dusky, pollen golden. 
Var. 1. Rubrilimbum. — Bot. Mag. 30. 1232. foliis rec- 
tioribus 2| unc. latis, limbo extus rubescente. 
Leaves straighter, limb red outside. 
Var. 2. Majus. — Foliis altioribus 22-3-pedalibus, flori- 
bus 6-7 majoribus, limbo albo. Leaves larger, 
flowers 6-7 larger, white. Cells with five ovules. 
Var. 3. Minus. — Foliis latis humilioribus, floribus 6, 
limbo albo. Smaller variety with six white flow- 
ers ; leaves broader and less erect than var. 1. This 
was the variety chiefly known in our stoves 
twenty years ago. 
Var. 4. Corantinum. — Foliis rectioribus, superficie la- 
cunose subradulosa, floribus 4 vel ultra limbo lato 
albo, revoluto ; columna vix purpurascente. Co- 
lumn greenish; leaves straighter and stifler than 
2 and 3, much pitted on the surface ; flowers 4 
or more ; limb broad, white, and revolute. Intro- 
duced by Lee and Kennedy from the banks of the 
Corantyne river in Dutch Guiana, I believe in 
Berbice. 
Var. 5. Braziliense. — Reliq. Willd. Minimum, foliis hu- 
milibus, floribus 4 vel ultra albis revolutis. In 
inuudatis prope Rio Janeiro. A small variety with 
about four revolute white flowers, found by my 
collector, as described by Willdenow, growing in 
water (he called it a pond) near Rio. Certainly
