Before we had seen Brunsvicta Josephine in the plant, 
and judging solely from the figure in the Liliacées, we con- 
ceived it to be of the same species as the Brunsviara multi- 
flora, most correctly represented in the 1619th article of 
Curtis’s Botanical Magazine. But a view of the two plants 
themselves hasS convinced us that we had judged wrong ; 
they agree, indeed, considerably in appearance, and exactly 
‘in the singular character of a counterfeit-resupinate corolla, 
the inflexion of the two lips of the limb being the reverse of 
that which is the usual one, while the general posture of the 
corolla is unchanged. ‘The lower lip is here the ascendant 
‘and projecting one, while the upper is the depressed and 
‘yecedent one—an anomaly in the natural order beyond 
‘the two species. Giving too much weight to this remark- 
able feature, we had neglected other differences when we 
considered multiflora and Josephine as of the same species. 
The present drawing was taken at the never-failing 
ssource of curious and beautiful Liliacee, Mr. Griffin’s col- 
lection at South Lambeth: it had been very lately imported 
by that gentleman from the Cape of Good Hope, where it 
was collected in the district of Hantam. We had some 
‘hesitation in believing our plant to be of the same species 
‘as Josephine; but Mr. Griffin is persuaded that the differ- 
‘ence between the two, which indeed consists principally in 
size, proceeds from his specimen being the produce of a 
‘bulb much younger than that from which the figure in 
‘Redouté’s work was taken. 
In multiflora the leayes are about 4, short, obovately ob- 
long, very broad, bright green, and flatly recumbent on 
the ground; in our plant they are 9 or more, lorately elon- 
gated, slightly lanceolate, upright, recurvedly patent, and 
‘glaucous. There the scape is scarcely longer than the 
peduncles of the flowers; here twice the length of them. 
‘There, the peduncles are shorter and trigonal, with three
