The genus Callipsyche is one of the most remarkable in the 
order Amarylliidacee. It was established by Herbert in 1842, 
and in the Bot. Reg. vol. xxxi. 1845, is figured the C. eucrosvoides, 
the only representation of the genus I am aware of. I have now 
much pleasure in bringing forward figures of two very distinct 
and striking species in this and the following plate. I am 
indebted to Mons. Linden, of Brussels, for C. aurantiaca, but I 
am not aware of its native country. ‘The flowers are much 
flattened sideways, giving them a very unusual appearance. The 
bulb has been grown in a mixture of sandy loam and leaf-mould, 
with good drainage. It requires the temperature of a warm pit 
or greenhouse, and should have plenty of moisture while growing, 
and while resting it should never be quite dry at the roots. —
