Flores nutantes ventricosi vel campanulati. Sepala glabra, acuta. Petala majora et dissimilia, barbata, 
infra medium fovea glabra nectarifera alte impressa extus gibbosa. Stigmata 3. Capsula triptera, coriaceo -

1. C. pulchella {Benth.) ; umbellis 2-3-floris, pedunculis bracteis brevioribus, floribus 
globosis, petalis ovatis obtusis serrulato-fimbriatis fovea valde excavata extus callosa, sepalis 
ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis quam petala vix brevioribus. Benth. Hort. Soc. Trans. N. S. 
I. p. 415. t. 14./. 1 ; Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1662. 
Flovrers yellow, the sepals greenish and striated with green. 
2. C. alba [Benth.); umbella 2-3-flora, pedunculis bracteis brevioribus, floribus oblongis 
inflatis, petalis ovatis obtusissimis margine nudiusculis fovea leviter impressa sepalis ovato- 
lanceolatis duplo longioribus. Benth. in Hort. Soc. Trans. N. S. 1. p. 413. t. 14./. 3 ; 
Lindl. in Bot. Reg. t. 1661. — Calochortus albus. Dough 
Flowers white. Sepals of a yellowish-green. The flowers do not appear to us to be oblong, but when 
expanded to be broadly ovate, nearly as in C. pulchella. 
3. C. paniculata [Lindl.); floribus solitariis, pedunculis bracteis subaaqualibus floribus 
oblongis ; petalis angustis obtusis subciliatis dimidia superiore cal vis fovea leviter exca- 
vata sepalis ovato-lanceolatis acuminatis duplo longioribus. Lindl. in Bot. Reg. sub t. 
1662. 
Prsecedenti affinis ; caule, panicula, floribus solitariis, pedunculis bracteis longioribus, alabastris angustis 
cseterisque satis distincta. Flores albi. Lindl. 1. c. — Of this w'e know nothing, unless it prove to be a mere 
form of C. alba, with which it appears to us to agree in almost every important character, as w'ell as in the 
white flowers.
