AMARYLLIDACEiE.

Flower green, jonquil-scented, cup very small, 
6-lobed ; scape produced before the leaves ; tube 
according to the figure fths, limb nearly as long, 
leaves rush-like ; bulb small. The specimen 
there represented is one-flowered. (Specim. ex 
Tangiers? PI. 41. f. 28. Herb. Benth. et Lindl. 
2-flor.) This plant grows on the neutral ground 
between Gibraltar and St. Roque, and on the coast 
of Barbary. I believe the two-flowered specimens 
from Tangiers to be viridiflora. Parkinson’s green- 
flowering plant, of which the cup according to the 
figure was not lobed, had a three-flowered scape. 
Var. 2? Integra? — Park. Par. 94. 11. t. 93. f. 6. 3-flow- 
ered, cup entire. The existence of this variety 
with an entire margin to the cup, depends on the 
accuracy of Parkinson’s figure ; and, as he does 
not state the margin to be entire, I consider the 
figure to deserve very little credit. 
This species forms the genus Chloraster of Haworth ; his 
generic character is a very incomplete description of the 
species, and contains no semblance of a generic distinction. 
I have lost the plant many years, and have had no oppor- 
tunity of examining the most important features of this and 
the other autumnal species. 
Suborder 6. — Galanthe^e. Porandrous ; i. e. not having the 
anthers slit and inverted, but opening partially ; in 
this instance the pollen is discharged through two 
small round holes at the summit. Not operculous ; 
bedded, i. e. with a glandular spongy covering to 
the germen, in which the filaments are inserted. 
Pollen not half the size of the smallest pollen of 
Amaryllideoe ; peduncle curved. 
This suborder is confined to the portion of the old Con- 
tinent north of the tropics. 
§. 1. Scape solid ; seeds whitish. 
80. Galanthus. — Bulb ovate ; leaves linear lorate ; scape 
1 -flowered ; spathe tubular below ; above, slit on 
one side, transparent on the other ; germen oblong- 
ovate, pendulous ; segments separate ; sepals con- 
cave, expanding in the sun ; petals much shorter, 
obovate, emarginate, 2-lobed, having the semblance of 
large nectareous scales ; style filiform, tapering to a
