from Mr. Saunders’ recently-imported specimens. Z. verecunda, 
Bot. Mag. 25838, Z. striata, Bot. Mag. 2593, Z. Ackermannia, 
Roem., and Z. Grahamiana, Herb., appear to be all only slight 
varieties of this one species. 
Tab. 212.—1, flower with segments of the limb cut away; 2, pistil; 
3, horizontal section of ovary: all magnified—J. G. B. 

This is a very pretty free-flowering species, which I received 
from Mexico, sent from thence by Mons. Boucard. It should be 
grown in well-drained pots, in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, 
and the bulbs should not be allowed to become dry at any season. 
It requires a cool airy greenhouse or pit, and should be kept as 
near the light as practicable.—W. W. S.
