AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
ribus 6, tubo pallido, 3-unc. curv. limbo 4-unc. 
unguiculate acuminatissimo albo striis latis purpu- 
reis ; stylo superne rubro, limbum non aequante, 
filamentis longiore, polline pallido. 
Var. 4. Longistylum. — Bulbo minore, caudice breviore 
vix rubro, foliis humilioribus, minus arcuatis, apice 
obtuso; perianthio albo, roseo-striato, tubo 3|, 
limbo 3f unc. undulatissimo ; stylo rubro filamen- 
tis limbo 1 ri, unc. longiore. Native of Bengal ; 
differs from Moluccanum in having the style longer, 
and the tube shorter than the limb, which is more 
undulated, and the leaves obtuse. 
Subvar. acutior. — Latifolium. Bot. Reg. 15. 1297. This 
plant is a sub-variety of the bulb named by me 
longistylum in Sweet’s Hort. Brit. ; distinguished 
by little but the acute point of the leaf, whereas 
the plant which I have cultivated a great many 
years as longistylum has a blunter point than any 
of the cognate bulbs. The aspect of these two 
bulbs is quite different from that of Roxburgh’s 
latifolium, which comes near to Zeylanicum in 
general appearance ; these approach to Speciosum 
and Careyanum. 
Var. 5. Speciosum. — Bot. Reg. 48. 2217. Leaves less 
undulated than those of Zeylanicum, and narrower ; 
flowers 15-20, striped with pink, almost white 
in the cold season. Flowers freely. Native of 
Bengal. 
Var. 6. Moluccanum. — Bot. Mag. 49. Tulipa Java- 
nica Rumph. Amb. A smaller plant, leaves much 
undulated, scape 1J-2 feet high, green, 5-6 flow- 
ered. Increases so much by offsets that it rarely 
flowers in the stove, and scarcely at all with us, 
unless placed in a hotbed. 
Var. 7. Careyanum. — Bot. Mag. 51. 2466. This beau- 
tiful plant was brought to light by Dr. Carey, late 
of Serampore, and I had the pleasure of naming it 
after one of the best, the most amiable, gifted, and 
indefatigable of men ; whose virtues and talents 
adorned his country, and whose labours have pro- 
moted the glory of the Almighty. I never saw 
that excellent man, but fifteen years' correspondence
