shire, come very near to those of Scabro-Capense, 
having the tube rather longer and the expansion 
greater, the colour nearly similar ; but they are 
much more numerous. 1 take it to be cross be- 
tween Scabrum and some other species in the Cal- 
cutta garden. The leaves are very like those of 
Scabro-erubescens, but more glossy. Its dry pol- 
len and shrivelled anthers shew that it is not a 
genuine species. I have named it after the Duke 
of Devonshire's very skilful and intelligent gar- 
dener at Chatsworth. 
Species dubice. — Doubtful species. 
45. Algoense. — Mihi ap. Sweet Hort. Brit. Nondum 
floridum ex Africa meridionali, prope Algoa bay, 
foliis C. revoluto affine, angustioribus, magis cana- 
liculatis. Forsan revoluti varietas. 
46 ? Album. — Am. alba, foliis lineari-lanceolatis, flore 
albo, spatha 10-flora, floribus declinatis. Kurmge. 
Arab. Soraf.— -Forsksel. FI. iEg. Ar. 209. I can 
scarcely doubt that this plant, with ten white flowers, 
must be a Crinum, and from its abode in Arabia, 
it is probably distinct from all that have been 
described. 
Caffrum. — Mihi ap. Sweet Hort. Brit, nondum floridum 
C. campanulato simile et vix diversum est. — Caf- 
frum et Formosum Herb. App. delenda sunt. 
Formosum est Arenarium v. blandum. 
Hybrid or mixed crosses . — 1. Gowcni, or Zeylanico-Ca- 
pense. Hort. Soc. Trans, ic. vol. 3. p. 187. First raised from 
Capense impregnated by Zeylanicum by J. R. Gowen, Esq. 
at Highclere. I received, a few years ago, a bulb of the 
same cross accidentally produced from seed of Capense in 
in Dr. Carey’s garden in the East Indies. — 2. Mitchamice, 
or Australi-Capense. First raised by me from pollen of 
pedunculatum at Mitcham in Surrey ; a sub-variety very 
different from pollen of Canaliculatum, and another from 
pollen of Exaltatum, afterwards at Spofforth. These crosses 
are fertile, and ripen some seed every year out of doors in 
front of the stove. Some of the seedlings are like the cross- 
bred parents, some, having been produced by the pollen from 
a large bed of Capense close by, revert very near to the type 
of Capense. When there are no plants of Capense in flower
