AMARYLLIDACE^E. 
the mother of C. submersum, which was found in 
company with it. It was rather impatient of pack- 
age and cultivation, and the bulbs I had are all 
lost. 
Var. 6. Caraccense. — Foliis humilibus 17 uncialibus, 2 g- 
latis, margine scaberrimo, floribus albis revolutis ; 
praecedenti valde affinis. Prope Caraccam. A 
small variety from Caraccas closely allied to var. 5, 
but of a stouter constitution ; not half so big as 
var. 3. 
Var. 7. Octoflorum. — Bulbo ambitu 14 unciali, foliis 
2^ pedalibus, floribus 8 subsessilibus, genuine un- 
ciali crasso ovali viridi, tubo viridi 4-5J unciali, 
filamentis apice rubris limbo 2 uncias brevioribus, 
stylo subaequali vel longitudinis incertae. Ex Vene- 
zuela. A fine variety lately imported from the 
Spanish Main by W. Gordon, Esq. of Haffield, 
affording the only instance yet known of an occi- 
dental Crinum of the patent narrow- limbed section 
producing eight flowers. In all the varieties the 
flower is more or less revolute at first, at last flaccid 
and pendulous. 
The stoloniferous Crinum erubescens, bearing usually six 
flowers, but often four in the lesser varieties, and eight in 
Mr. Gordon’s plant, occupies nearly the whole tropical east- 
ern coast of South America. It has a remarkable point to the 
leaf, which is easily recognised, and before inversion the 
anthers are of a blackish ash colour. 
13. Lindleyanum. — Ex Surinam et Maranham. Eru- 
bescens v. viridifolia. Herb. App. Bulbo non pur- 
purascente ovate columnari, foliis lucidis sesqui- 
pedalibus vel ultra, unciam latis vel ultra, margine 
vix sub lente scabriusculo, lineari-lanceolatis arcua- 
tim porrectis (tubo 6-unciali viridi, limbo revoluto, 
denique pendulo ; — extus purpurascente ?) I can- 
not distinguish Dr. Lindley’s revolutum, Hort. 
Soc. Tr. vi. p. 284, from erubescens, by any thing 
in his description except greater flatness of leaf. 
The name revolutum, having been long pre-occu- 
pied by another species, cannot remain with it. I 
believe the plant to be the same 'as those I possess 
from Surinam and Maranham, which I formerly
