AMARYLLIDACEiE. 
low ; peradventure but a difference of seed from 
the former.” The limb of this variety is not really 
white, but has a dull yellowish tinge, and is inac- 
curately termed white by Haworth. I cannot learn 
that any person has seen a white variety, though 
he had another which he called snow-white. The 
orange phoenix is the double of this variety. The 
double narcisseae are apt to degenerate in some 
seasons, or by accident, to semidouble and single, 
and I have seen the Butter and eggs produce a per- 
fect single flower of Aurantia. I have seen the 
orange phoenix, when becoming semidouble, with 
the three styles quite distinct. They were parted 
by the process of doubling the flower, and when it 
became accidentally single, they were not re- 
united. Mr. Sabine informs me that he has twelve 
varieties of foetida, but only one single one with a 
whitish limb. The variations which I have not 
enumerated are of little importance. I think the 
convenience of limiting the name incomparabilis to 
that variety to which it was affixed in the magazine, 
and calling the species by a more applicable gene- 
ric name as stinking, will be universally admitted. 
Incomparabilis does not appear to be the stock 
from which they have all sprung ; the orange rim, 
which it wants, seems rather the prevailing feature 
amongst them.

Var. 2. PI. 39. f. 2, 3. — Cup more patent and deeply 
gashed ; leaf keeled, half an inch wide. f. 2 was 
made before the expansion of the flower, which was 
perhaps not quite fall grown. A specimen from 
Mr. Sabine differed a little from both varieties. 
The second I had ; the first was from the Hort. Soc. 
garden. The species was first united with incom- 
parabilis in the Bot. Mag. and afterwards with an 
Hermione. It is, however, a perfect Queltia.
