The present is the fourth unrecorded species of the 
genus made known in this work, and the introduction of. 
which is due to Mr. Griffin. The hyacinthina of the fas- 
ciculus for the preceding month, was the first evidence of 
an AMARYLLIs with a blue flower; the present the first of 
one with a green flower. Until their appearance amongst 
ys, an AmaAryLus of either of these colours was still a 
chimera. Calyptrata is moreover remarkable in having the 
membrane which crowns the orifice of the tube and sure 
CoVOTanit. | Fey = aE ;
