PANCRATIUM, Supra vol. 3. fol. 221. 
P. australasicum, foliis petiolatis, lamin& nervoso-costat4, coron4 brevissima 
omnino sexpartita. 
An unrecorded plant from the interior of New South 
Wales, where it was lately observed and sent to England by 
Mr. Cunningham, the zealous and intelligent investigator 
of the objects of natural history found in the newly ex- 
plored inland parts of those regions. 
Comes very close to Pancratium amboinense, admirably 
figured by Mr. Sydenham Edwards in Curtis’s Botanical 
Magazine (1419); but is altogether a smaller plant, where 
the short crown of the flower is sixparted to the very bot- 
tom, which is not the case in the other species. 
Drawn at Mr. Colvill’s Nursery in the King’s Road. A 
hothouse plant.
