Drawn at Mr. Brookes’s Nursery, Ball’s Pond. We did not 
see the plant, and have retained it under the present generic 
head, from a persuasion that the species will be found to 
combine with some of the imperfectly known Peruvian 
plants, provisionally attached to Pancratium. 
The species appears to have served Mr. Herbert with the 
matter of two distinct genera; in neither of which, how- 
ever, can we perceive a single point to distinguish it from 
Amaryuis. In a character subsequently defined by Mr. — 
Lindley, the filaments are described as slightly connected 
!
