white, lined with red ; style with three bifid pro- 
cesses, a little longer than the filaments, of which 3 
are free, 3 connate with the style.

Herb. Banks. Leaves obtuse, \ an inch wide ; 
spathe lined with red ; flowers white, red at the 
base and in the bud, filaments shortly connate, 3 
adhering to the style. 
3. Rubella. — PI. 39. f. 12. Jacq. ic. 2. 358. Leaves j 
wide, flowers red, filaments cylindrically connected 
half their length, 3 connected with the style. 
4. Linguaefolia.— PI. 29. f. 10. Jacq. C. S. 45. ic. 2. 
356. Leaves obtuse, ^ an inch wide ; flowers 
white, lined with green ; filaments connected at 
bottom with the perianth ; 3 connected with the 
style. 
5. Undulata. — PI. 29. f. 13. Jacq. C. S. 50. ic. 2. 360. 
Leaves \ wide, subacute ; flowers undulated, white 
tipped with red ; filaments shortly connected at the 
base, all free from the style. 
This genus is distinguished from all the foregoing by the 
strumous style. It is not very material whether Strumaria or 
£lessea be placed next to Nerine, but it seems advisable to 
keep those with an enlarged style together. Properly Stru- 
maria and Hessea should stand side by side, the former con- 
nected with the subsequent genera by its strumous style; the 
latter by its short erect anthers. There is in the Banksian 
herbarium, a drawing by Bauer, of a Strumaria without name, 
which I believe to be an undescribed species or variety; the leaf 
agrees nearly with that of Linguaefolia ; the umbel is repre- 
sented rather drooping to one side ; the spathe short ; the pe- 
rianth not undulated, white with a very faint blush of pink ; 
the dissection having been made before the maturity of the 
sepaline anthers, the style, which is green, is not full grown, 
and the stigma not developed ; the dissection does not shew 
the base, nor whether the filaments, which are crowded round 
it, adhere or not. It was probably a representation of one of 
Masson’s bulbs which flowered at Kew. From appearances, I 
should think it a variety of S. linguaefolia, with a pink blush 
instead of a green line outside the sepals. The point of a 
young leaf and Bauer’s dissection are given, pi. 29. f. 15.
