This remarkable plant is the discovery of the well-known 
traveller and botanist, Dr. F. Welwitsch, who kindly presented 
me with bulbs after his return from Angola. The plant is 
exceedingly interesting in a botanical point of view, and is also a 
tall and fine species of the genus Albuca. It thrives when treated 
as recommended for A. flaccida, Tab. 334.—W. W. S.
