NOTES. 
Amaryllis laticoma. Fol.497, Se... J 
Mr. Herbert has been so good a8 to inform us that this curious plant was 
brought over by Mr. Burchell from the Cape of Good Hope, where it was 
found in the country that lies behind the Snowy Mountains. He adds, that 
the following notice of it (which we now insert entire) should have been 
adverted to in our account of the species. 
« An NERINE lucida? Burchell. Species nondum herbariis inveni- 
“ enda: foliis angustis nitidis persistentibus. I am inclined to think that 
“ this will belong to the same genus as coranica and falcata. Herbert in 
“ Ourtis’s Magazine, fol. verso 2124.” 
Considering the nature of the above notice we cannot be expected to take 
to ourselves any great degree of blame in not having discovered our plant 
through its means. ‘ol 
We confess we do not agree in Mr. Herbert’s proposed alterations in re- 
_ gard to the genus AMARyLLIs. We have howeyer always thought that 
the species it contains of the European type, might perhaps be separated 
without inconvenience into a genus of which the strophiolated seeds would 
\ form an important characteristic. ~ : "

 -Froma drawing we have lately seen of Iris reticulata, we should judge 
it clearly distinct from tuberosa, to which it had been added in the Enumera- 
tion of the genus IRts, in the Appendix to Volume V.
