The present plant has been lately introduced by Mr. 
Burchell, who considers it an unpublished species, not be- 
ing probably aware of the one of which we deem it a mem- 
ber. To us the two plants seem to differ no otherwise than 
in the dimension of the foliage, which is rather larger in 
Jacquin’s plant than in ours; a difference we suspect en- 
tirely owing to that in the ages of their bulbs: we have 
recorded however the two as varieties, and others may 
dispose of them as they think best. — 
- The drawing was taken in the greenhouse at Mr. Col- 
vill’s Nursery, in the King’s Road; from a plant that had 
been raised two years before from seed obtained from Mr. 
‘Burchell. The blossom was fragrant. :

The separation of the genus from Hyacrinruus is’ ex- 
tremely narrow, both in respect to habit and character, the’ 
latter being principally confined to the position of the sta- 
mens, which is deep within the tube of the corolla in. Hya- 
cintHuS, while in Masson it is at the mouth. -
