A newly discovered species, which has flowered this 
summer for the first time in our gardens. The knowledge 
of it is due to a late expedition into the western interior 
of New Holland, in the course of which the plant was found 
under Macquarie Range in E. longitude about 146, and 
about 33 of S. latitude, a region not long since deemed in- 
accessible from the side of the Colony. 
The drawing was taken from a plant that flowered in 
Mr. Barnard’s hothouse at Bexley; where the CaLosreEmMA 
purpureum had likewise blossomed in great perfection. No 
other species of this genus has been yet observed in all 
Australasia. 
Bulb tunicate. Leaves several, narrowly lorate, acu- 
minately tapered, convolutely channelled, upright, recurved
