Note upon Amaryllis ignea. Supra vol. 10. fol. 809. 
We have recently had an opportunity of examining fresh flowers of this 
plant, which we, at the time we published it, had not seen in a perfect state. 
At that time, it was supposed that it might, at some future period, be found 
to constitute a genus distinct from any previously described, and the belief 
we then entertained is now confirmed. It differs from Amaryllis in having 
each of the stamens, which are opposite the outer divisions of the perian- 
thium, furnished with two subulate processes, and from Chlidanthus, in 
having the stamens distinct, and inserted nearly at the base of the peri- 
anthium, and in the structure of this latter. : 
This genus may be called Phycella, and thus defined. 
PHYCELLA. 
Perianthium subringens, conyoluto-clausum, 6-partitum. Stamina basi 
laciniarum inserta: fertilia 6, declinata, subeequalia; sterilia totidem subu- 
lata, basi filamentorum exteriorum adnata. Stylus filiformis. Stigma 
simplex. Semina...... (membranacea ?)
