AM ARYLLIDACEjE. 
the limb ; tube slender, drooping ; capsule erect) 
seed oblong with elevated raphe and chalaza. Plants 
with a small bulb and leaves, scape slender, and con- 
stitution delicate; 2-7-flowered. The anthers re- 
quire further examination ; those of a dry specimen 
of G. striatulus now before me are not like those of 
a Queltia ; I have had no opportunity of examining a 
fresh anther of Ganymedes, since I have fully inves- 
tigated the structure of the other genera. 
1. Capax. — N. Calathinus. Red. Lil. 3. 177. Perianth 
pale yellow; tube and cup each about J-ths, limb 
about -|ths of an inch long : style shorter than cup. 
Native of the isles of Glenan dep. of Finisterre. 
2. Reflexus. -Brotero Flor. Lus. — N. Calathinus Red. 
Lil. 410. Perianth sulphureous white ; tube and 
cup each about limb ^ inch long ; style shorter 
than the cup. On the mountains of Gerez, near 
Amaranta and elsewhere in Portugal, and in the 
isles of Glenan, The Portuguese plant is called 
sulphureous white, that of Glenan is figured quite 
white by Redoute. 
3. Pulchellus. — PI. 39. f. 16. — N. triandrus, v. luteus. 
Bot. Mag. 31. 1262. Sweet Br. f. g. Ser. 2. t. 99. 
Tube limb about yellow; cup about half an 
inch, very pale. 
Var. 2. — Parvicorona, misapplied by Flaworth to stria- 
tulus with which it does not agree ; the main dif- 
ference of striatulus being the prolonged style. 
4. Cernuus. —Illus cernuus. Haw. N. triandrus. Bot. Mag. 
2. 48. Tube and cup about ■§, limb l long, whitish. 
Style shorter than the cup according to the Bot. Mag. 
though Haworth in his character of Illus says longer. 
N. triandrus of Linnaeus agrees with this, except that it 
is called absolutely white, but there may exist a whiter va- 
riety than that figured in the Bot. Mag. The name which 
he gave by a great error, having supposed it to bear only 
three stamens, because the petaline were hid within the tube, 
cannot with any propriety be preserved. 
5. Concolor. — Sweet. Br. f. g. Ser. 2. 113. Perianth 
pale yellow; tube about § long; cup not ^ ; limb 
f ; style exceeding the cup.
