to judge from the specimens we have witnessed in the in- 
stances of calyptrata, psittacina, and aulica. 
Our plant differs from its two immediate relatives in 
having a bright foliage, the outer segments of the corolla 
much narrower than the inner, and the lowermost one of all 
involute below the middle; specially from calyptrata by 
stamens which are shorter than the limb, from psittacina 
by a more deeply divided corolla and a broader crown of one 
colour. The species was first observed by the late Mr. 
Woodford.

We have withdrawn the Amaryxuts hyacinthina of the 
163d article (given in the second volume of this publication) 
from the genus where it had been provisionally deposited, 
-and have founded a new one upon it, under a name in- 
‘tended as an acknowledgment of the benefit derived to Bo- 
‘tany from the pursuits of Mr. Griffin; the means through 
which many and valuable additions have been made to the 
Liliacee of our collections.
