AMARYLLIDACE^E.

cup almost 12-lobed, the six lobes being severally 
indented ; the limb broad ovate, more than twice 
as long as the cup. I can have no certainty from 
Mr. Haworth’s insufficient details, whether the plant 
he meant to describe belongs to this species. He 
does not notice the style, and it might have been 
a variety of H. brevistyla allied to v. 10. represented 
pi. 41. f. 10 ; but I have just received biscrenata 
from Mr. Penn}% nurseryman, at Godalmin, and 
am satisfied by the aspect of the bulb and leaves that 
it is a variety of bifrons. 
2. Tazetta. — Stigma between the upper anthers ; cup 
yellow or orange ; limb white, pale lemon, or yel- 
low. Observ. The tube is usually from ^ an inch , 
to -|ths long, and the limb seems to have precisely 
the same latitude of variation ; the tube is oftener 
longer than the limb, sometimes equal, more rarely 
shorter. If it were ascertained that the varieties in 
which the limb equals, and in which it exceeds the 
tube were found so wild invariably in certain locali- 
ties, and that the proportions did not vary in cul- 
tivated seedlings, it might be advisable to separate 
them on that account, and increase the number of 
specific names ; but I can find no account of those 
varieties in a wild state, and we have no report of 
the variabilities of Hermione in cultivation. It is 
utterly impossible to identify Mr. Haworth’s named 
varieties, for he has not noticed the style, and his 
definitions do not enable me to class them. I do not 
pretend to detail the multitude of varieties which 
are to be found in cidtivation, but I have given the 
outline and particulars of all those to which I had 
access last year, which will be quite sufficient to 
shew in what manner the genus varies, and enable 
any person to arrange the further varieties under 
the proper heads, till their seeds and their seminal 
variability can be more fully investigated. 
Tube equal to the limb.
