relied on in the cultivated plants of this genus: we have, 
however, marked it as the variety 6; that others may dis- 
tinguish the two according to their own views. 
Leaves 8-10, lorate, acuminate, convolute, channelled, 
_a foot and an half long, half an inch or more in breadth, not 
glaucous. Scape upright, compressed, a foot or more in 
length. Spathes oblong, lanceolate, long-pointed, whitish, 
withering, outer ones the largest, about an inch and an half 
in length. Flowers sweet-scented, pedicled; pedicles 3-cor- 
nered, scarcely half an inch long. Tube of the corolla 
cylindrically 3-cornered, greenish, 2-3 inches long, with the 
thickness of a large quill: dimb campanulate: segments 
lanceolate, pointed, shorter than the tube, quite white, 
greenish in the middle on the outside: crown campanulate, 
shorter than the limb, sixcleft, with two-cleft segments. 
Filaments white: anthers deep yellow. Style declining, 
greenish. 
We had no opportunity of describing from the living 
plant, and have adopted Dr. Solander’s description. 
. Differs from maritimum (see fol. 161) in having more 
leaves, and these taper-pointed and not glaucous, longer 
taper-pointed segments to the crown, and filaments which 
are at least 2 or 3 times higher than the segments of the 
crown.
