(A.) gracilior; flores plures; folia angustiora. Infra fol. 623. 
(B.) robustior; flores plurimi; folia latiora. In loco presenti. — 
Folia multifaria, plura ad duodena usque, lorato-atienuata, canalicu- 
lata, ecarinata, ecostata; exteriora in orbem recumbentia bipedalia v. 
ultra latitudine uni-triunciali: interiora erectiuscula gradatim angustiora, 
acutiis canaliculata. Scapus viridis, cylindraceus, plits minis compressus, 
foliis altior. Spatha multiflora, ovato-lanceolata, pedunculis longior. Flores 
suaveolentes, pedunculatt, triunciales vel ultra. Cor. infundibultformis, intus 
albida, extus secundim medium laciniarum limbi rubicunda, ceterum ‘albi- 
cans; tubus linearis cylindricus obsolete trigonus, virescens, plus minus flexus 
vel etiam strictus, subduplo brevior limbo; limbus in faucem profundam tur- 
binatam connivens, indé recurvatim vel revolutim patens, obsolete irregu- 
laris, laciniis elliptico-lanceolatis, interioribus tribus sublatioribus. Fil. de- 
clinato-assurgentia, % vel circa breviora limbo, pauld inequalia. Stylus 
corollam denud adequans: stigma parvum, triquetro-capitellatum, apertum. 
Germ. ellipticum, nitidum, exsulcum, etorosum; loculi singuli ovulis subtri- 
nis vel pluribus -biseriato-annexis, obovato-globosis. Capsule semina (ex 
Jacquino) solitaria, loculorum cavitati conformia, 
A. species distinguishable at once from Amaryuuis longi- 
folia in every variety we have seen, by the limb of the co- 
rolla being longer than the tube. There are other differ- 
ences, but this is obvious and definite. 
Revoluta appears the most variable of its congeners ; 
and we have been induced from that circumstance to éx- 
D2 ;
