This fine plant flowered in January last at South Lam- 
beth, the bulb having been obtained by Mr. Griffin, directly 
from Buenos Ayres; and cultivated in the bark-bed of his 
hothouse. It belongs, as well as we can judge, to an un- 
recorded species, and ranks in the same section of the genus 
with fulgida and crocata, previously introduced by Mr. 
Griffin, and already published in this work; from both of 
which, however, though very nearly akin, it differs markedly, 
by a greyishly clouded foliage, and by the 3 upper segments 
of the corolla being of a thomboidally lanceolate form, and 
long-pointed with straightly edged curled sides tapering all 
the way from near the middle. The leaves are much longer 
and of a darker green than those of fulgida, the corolla 
faintly chequered and of a pinker or paler salmon-red. 
Bulb as large as a goose’s egg with brown integuments. 
Leaves thickish and firm, lorate (broadly linear), shortly 
pointed, a foot and a half long, and in the present sample
