8 APPENDIX. 
Bulb ovoid, twelve to fifteen lines thick. Leaves four or five 
to a scape, narrowly linear, rigidly coriaceous, strongly nerved, 
five to six inches long in the specimens, a line and a half to two 
lines broad, ascending. Seape firm, erect, equalling the leaves. 
Raceme moderately dense, thirty- to forty-flowered, three to four 
inches long by half to five-eighths of an inch broad whilst in 
flower. Pedicels erecto-patent, two to three lines long, some- 
times geminate. bracts more developed than in the other 
species, linear, equalling the buds. Perianth campanulate, bright 
rose-purple, an eighth of an inch broad and deep, spreading 
nearly or quite from the base when expanded. Stamens nearly 
as long as the divisions, flattened and lanceolate at the base. 
Ovary neither stipitate nor dilated at the base. 
By the shape of its perianth and ovary this quite connects the 
Ledebouria with the Scille of the autumnalis group.

Zarmbesi land, a few miles below Tette, in sandy soil near the 
mouth of the river, discovered by Dr. Kirk on the Livingstone 
expedition. 
Bulb not seen. Leaves three to a bulb in the specimens, 
thinner in texture than in the other species, lanceolate, two to 
two and a half inches long, nine to ten lines broad, acute, 
narrowed at the base into a petiole shorter than the blade which 
clasps the base of the scape. Scapes one or two, erect, very 
slender, two to three inches long. Raceme moderately lax, 
thirty- to forty-flowered, an inch and a half to two inches and a 
half long, half an inch broad when expanded. Pedicels patent, a 
line and a half to two lines long. Flowers cernuous, campanulate, 
a line deep, green not at all tinged with purple, spreading from 
half-way down when expanded. Stamens filiform, nearly as long 
as the divisions, scarcely at all tinged with purple. Ovary dis- 
tinctly stipitate.
