An exceedingly rare plant in our collections, where in- 
deed we had never met with it till this summer, when several 
samples were in blossom at the same time in Mr. Griffin’s 
hothouse at South Lambeth: where the bulbs had been 
lately imported from the Island of Ceylon; the country to 
which the species belongs. 
Cultivated by Miller, at the Physic Garden, Chelsea, in 
1752; and had been most probably procured from the gar= 
dens in Holland.
