rigidissimis attenuate acutis; limbo latobrevi primu- 
lae speciem praebente, albo; filamentis rubris. Planta 
magnitudine Crini erubescentis,” Carey MS. This 
singular plant, with rigid and acutely attenuated 
leaves, short broad white limb, like that of a pri- 
mula, and red filaments, was raised by Dr. Carey 
from seed received from Australia, probably from 
the same unknown quarter as Brachyandrum. This 
insufficient description does not satisfy me where 
to place it; the description of the flower comes 
nearest to that of Flaccidum, but the leaves would 
suit rather with Sumatranum and Macrocarpon. 
He did not state whether it was pedunculated or 
not, but called it about equal to Erubescens in size. 
It was unfortunately lost by him soon after its 
flowering. 
37. Flaccidum. — Bot. Mag. 47. 2133. Am. Austral- 
asica Bot. Reg. 5. 426. This plant has seeds 
smoother than those of any other Crinum I have 
seen, and inclining to pearl colour, but I have 
crossed it with both Asiaticum and Australe. It 
succeeds in a cool part of the stove, and is also 
capable of living in the open ground, where I have 
had it some years in front of the stove, but it has 
not flowered there. In a greenhouse it should be 
left dry in winter.
