For this very fine variety of A. acuminata we are in- 
debted to A. F. Mornay, Esq., of Ashburton House, 
Putney, by whom it was found near San Pablo Quatro- 
Venados, in the state of Oaxaca, in Mexico. The bulb 
was introduced some years ago: our drawing was made 
in March 1827. 
It differs from the well-known A. acuminata in being 
more robust in its mode of growth, having narrower leaves, 
and a more spreading umbel, with longer stalks to the 
flowers. It is easily cultivated in a cool ereenhouse.

* Amaryllis was a country girl whose charms were celebrated by Virgil. 
Botanists have shewn their gallantry by giving her name to a genus o 
flowers, whose beauty will not suffer by comparison with the fairest dames 
of Latium.
