rutila and equestris. The flower has ‘no scent, is of a bright 
glittering salmon-colour, about four inches deep, and almost 
six across the widest dimension of the aperture, nearly 
transparent and streaked with longitudinal parallel veins, 
not visibly barred in the intervals, as in the leaves. The 
mouth of the tube is entirely smooth. Stem two feet or 
more high, clouded with a blueish or grey bloom; /eaves 
considerably shorter, of a clear unclouded green, and irre- 
gularly latticed-veined, the intervals between their straight 
Jongitudinal parallel veins being crossed or barred by broken 
lines at equal but irregularly disposed distances; in the way . 
that both flower and leaves are in AMARYLULISs “ediculata. 
It has been suggested to us, that the double-flowered 
variety of the plant, introduced a few years since by Messrs. 
Fraser, of Sloane Square, and known among the gardeners 
by the name of Amarytrs pulcherrima, may belong to this 
species, the colour being nearly the same; but we take 
that to be Amaryxuts equestris, or a Species nearer to that 
- than to the present, if really distinct. ‘The corolla is there, 
however, too much deformed by the multiplicity of petals 
to afford decisive evidence of such Close distinction; espe- 
cially as the tube is filled up, and it cannot be discerne
