_ @ is the variety from which the species was originally 
taken up in the Hortus Kewensis; and is the one figured in 
Jacquin’s work, as well as by Mr. Francis Bauer, in his 
Sketches in the Banksian Museum. We know of no re- 
presentation of «, except the one in Curtis’s Botanical Ma- 
gazine by Mr. Sydenham Edwards. 
The species approaches nearer to Pancratium than any 
other of its natural order from the Cape of Good Hope or 
adjoining regions, where the type of that genus seems 
wholly unrepresented. The membrane which is detached 
from the faux in Pancratium, and forms the connecting 
web between the stamens, in this plant adheres closely to 
the corolla, and connects the portion of the segments 
which constitute the faux. 
Requires to be kept in the hothouse, where it flowers 
freely; and is becoming pretty common in the nurseries 
about London.
