Var. 10. PI. 41. f. 10. Fine yellow, cup deeper; tube 
fths, limb not fths. 
Var. 11. PI. 41. f. 11. Limb yellowish white, about 
half an inch ; cup orange ; tube fths. 
Var. 12. PI. 41. f. 13. Limb yellow, about fths; tube

Var. 13. PI. 41. f. 14. Yellow, cup deeper yellow ; 
cup much larger than var. 12. Jonquil-scented. 
Var. 14. PI. 41. f. 5. Limb white, fths; cup lemon-

ered ; limb very pale sulphureous, four times as 
long as the cup; cup irregularly cleft, pale yellow.

1. Elegans. — PI. 41. f. 27. See Hermione elegans. Sup-

acute fths or a little more. N. serotinus ; fig. 
7-flora. Desf. Flor. Atl. 1. 283. t. 82. This African 
plant is confounded by Desfontaines with the 1-2- 
flowered serotina of the south of Europe. I have 
given the outline of a flower copied from the umbel 
represented by him, and also his outline of serotina, 
PI. 41. f. 30. which last I have verified by compa-

It will be seen that the difference is very consider-
