Bulb ovoid, immersed, brown-tunicated, an inch and a half to 
two inches thick. Leaves six to eight to a bulb, fleshy-herbaceous, 
ascending, four to six inches long, twelve to fifteen lines broad, 
acute, narrowed at the base into short petioles sheathing the 
base of the scape. Scapes one to three to a bulb, about equalling 
the leaves. Raceme lax, thirty- to sixty-flowered, three to four 
inches long by twelve to fifteen lines broad when expanded. 
Pedicels three to four lines long, the lower ones at first nutant, 
the upper ones as bright in colour as the flowers. Perianth two 
and a half to three lines long, in bud nearly three times as long 
as thick, purplish lilac with a more or less decided green tinge 
on the outside, spreading from three-quarters of the way down 
when expanded. J ilaments nearly as long as the divisions, 
bright purple except at the base. Ovary subsessile, bluntly 
three-lobed, not dilated at the base. Very like the last in every- 
thing except the shape and size of the flowers.
