This species is from Peru, and I am indebted to M. Linden, 
of Brussels, for having kindly furnished me with a bulb. When 
in flower its aspect is. most remarkable,— more curious than 
beautiful. A long upright flower-stem is furnished above with a 
head of numerous pale greenish yellow flowers, spreading almost 
at right angles from their support, each flower having long, 
somewhat declined, much protruding stamens. The general 
appearance of the head of flowers is that of an expanded parasol. 
It-requires the same soil and treatment as C. aurantiaca, in the 
foregoing plate—W. W.S.
