I have to-day received a plant of Pancratium parviflorum of Redoute, 
with which I am favoured from the Jardin des Plantes at Paris. The 
instant I saw its leaves, I was convinced of its being Lapiedra Placiana. 
The leaf exactly agrees with the figure of Barrelius and the description of 
Clusius that it resembles that of Oporanthus luteus, with the difference of 
having a longitudinal whitish stripe. It is strange that Barrelius and 
Lagasca should have entirely overlooked the tendency to a Pancratiform 
structure in the stamens, and Redoute have represented the leaf so imper- 
fectly, that no person had, or could have, suspected the identity of the 
plants. I am confident that the bulb sent to me from Paris must be 
Lapiedra. The name Lapiedra Placiana must therefore be removed from 
the Oporanthiform section, and substituted for Yagaria parviflora, which 
must be expunged. The account of the leaf, seed, and habitation, under 
the head Lapiedra, will be correct ; but that of the flower must be taken 
from the article Yagaria and the figure of Redoute.
