The firft fort grows naturally on the fea-coaft in 
Spain, and the fouth of France. This hath a large, 
coated, bulbous root, of an oblong form, covered 
with a dark (kin •, the leaves are jfhaped like a tongue; 
they are more than a foot long, and one inch broad, 
of a deep green, fix or feven of them riling together 
from the fame root, encompaffed at bottom with a 
vagina or fheath ; between thefe arife the (talk, which 
is a foot and a half long, naked, fuftaining at the top 
fix or eight white flowers, inclofed in a fheath, which 
withers and opens on the fide, to make way for the 
flowers to corne out. The germen are fltuated clofe 
to the top of the ftaik, from thefe arife the tube of 
the flowers, which are three inches long ; they are 
very narrow, (welling at the top, where the' cup or 
nedarium is fltuated, on the outftdeof which is fatt- 
ened the fix fegments or petals of the flower ; thefe 
are narrow, and extend a great length beyond the 
nedarium ; from the border of the nedarium arife 
fix long (lender flaming, terminated by oblong fum- 
mits which are proftrate, and in the center arifes a 
n ftyle the length of the ftamina, terminated by an ob- 
tufe ftigma. The flowers of this fort do not appear 
in England till the latter end of Aug up, fo are not 
fucceeded by feeds here. The leaves of this fort are 
green all the winter, and decay in the fpring, fo the 
roots fhould be tranfplanted in June, after the leaves 
are decayed. This muft be planted in a very warm 
border, and fereened from fevere froft, otherwife it 
will not live through the winter in England. 
The f icon A fort grows naturally in Sclavonia, and 
alio in Sicily ; this hath a large, coated, bulbous 
root, covered- with a dark fld.n, fending out many 
thick ftrong fibres, which ftrike deep in the ground ; 
the leaves are fword-fhaped, a foot and a half long 
and two inches broad, of a grayiftt colour. The 
ftalks are thick, fucculent, and rife near two feet 
high, fuftaining at the top fix or feven white flowers 
i!t aped like thofe of the firft fort, but the tube is 
Shorter and the ftamina are much longer. This 
P A N 
flowers in June, .and frequently produces feeds which, 
ripen in September. 
This fort is’ hardy, and will live through the winter in 
the full ground, being never injured but in very fevere 
winters ; and if, in inch feafons, the furface of the 
ground is covered with tanners bark, fea-coal allies, 
feraw, or Peas-haulm, to keep out the froft, there 
will be no danger of the roots (offering, it is propa- 
gated either by offsets from the roots, or from feeds ; 
the former is the more expeditious method, for the 
onsets will flower very ftrong the fecond year ; where- 
as thofe which are raffed from feeds, feldom flower in 
lefs than five years. 
The roots of this plant Should not be removed oftener 
than every third year, if they are expe&ed to flower 
ftrong ; the belt time to tranfpant them is in the be- 
ginning of G&ober, foon after their leaves decay : 
they fhould not be kept long out of the ground, for 
as they do not lofe their fibres every year, fo if thefe 
are dried by long keeping out of the ground, it great- 
ly weakens the roots. It loves a light fandy foil, and 
a flickered fituation ; the roots fhould be planted nine 
inches or a foot afunder every way, and five inches 
deep in the ground. 
If the plants are propagated by feeds, they fhould be 
fown in pots filled with light earth foon after they are 
ripe; thefe pots fhould be placed under a hot-bed 
frame in winter to fereen them from froft, but the 
glaffes muft be taken off every day in mild weather. 
The other management being the fame as for the 
Narciffus, I need not repeat it here ; fo mall only 
mention, that the young roots will require a little 
protection in winter, till they have obtained ftrength. 
The third fort grows naturally at Ceylon ; this hath 
a pretty large bulbous root, the leaves are long and 
narrow, of a grayifh colour, and pretty thick, (land- 
ing upright ; the llalk rifes between them a foot and 
a half high, naked, fuftaining one flower at the top, 
whofe petals are reflexed backward ; the nedtarium 
is large, and cut at the brim into many acute feg- 
ments ; the ftamina are long, and turn toward each 
other at their points, in which it differs from the 
other fpecies. The flower has a very agreeable feent, 
but is of fnort duration ; this is very rare in the gar- 
dens at prefent. 
•The fourth fort grows naturally at La VeraCruz, 
from whence the late Dr. Houftoun brought fome of 
the roots. The leaves of this fort are about a foot 
long and two inches broad, having three longitudinal 
furrows. The ftaik rifes about a foot high, then di- 
vides like a fork into two fmall foot-ftalks, or rather 
tubes, which are narrow, green, and at firft are en- 
compaffed by a thin fpatha (or fheath) which withers, 
and opens to give way to the flowers, which are white, 
and fliaped like thole of the other fpecies, . but have 
no feent. 
The fifth fort grows naturally at Amboyna, and alfo 
in the American iflands. The root of this fort is ob- 
long, white, and fends out leveral thick flefhy fibres, 
which ftrike downward ; the leaves Hand upon very- 
long foot-ftalks, fome of them are oval, and others 
heart-fhaped, about feven inches long, and five 
broad, ending in points, having many deep longitu- 
dinal furrows ; they are of a light green, and their 
borders turn inward. The ftaik is thick, round, and 
fucculent, riftng near two feet high, fuftaining at the 
top feveral white flowers, fliaped like the other fpe- 
cies, but the petals are broader, the tube is fhorter, 
and the ftamina are not fo long as the petals. Thefe 
flowers have a thin fheath or covering, which fplits 
open longitudinally, to make way for the flowers. 
The fixth fort grows naturally in moift boggy foils in 
Georgia, where Mr. Catefby bifeovered it. This hath 
a roundifh bulbous root, covered with a light brown 
fkin, from which arife feveral narrow dark green 
leaves, about a foot long ; between thefe come out a 
thick ftaik about nine inches high, fuftaining fix or 
feven white flowers, with very narrow petals, having 
large bell-fhaped ne&ariums or cups, which are deeply 
indented on their brims ; the ftamina do not rife far 
above
