Bulbs plano-convex or rather somewhat depressedly flat up- wards and umbilicately convex underneath.

Leaves linear, ensisorm, grassy, nerved, three inner ones sheathing the stem nearly to the flowers. stem upright, gracilescently filiform, generally lax and somewhat bent, longer than the leaves, 1-3 feet high, simple or branched; branches 3-6, paniculately disposed, often subdivided, upright.

Flowers 6-10, in a short oblong spike. spathe scariose, membranous, monly denticulate.

Tube mostly shorter than the limb, which is somewhat campanulately narrowed at its base, seg- ments obtuse: alternate ones rather narrower. stigmas distinct to about the base of the anthers, recurved.

Anthers loose, or not squeezed together, sometimes curved and connivent at the summit and base.

Varies with white, white with red streaks, red and violet-coloured flowers, which are also frequently com- stained, stained, as in IXIA maculata; too nearly allied to IXIA patens (a variety of which is JACQUIN'S IXIA leucantha) differing in little elfe except size and colour and the campanulate contrac- tion of the limb at the base. << Although LINNEUS has given it the specific name of flexuosa, yet in his description he says it is "a flore ad florem parum flexus." This now vague and inappropriate name most probably led THUNBERG to fuspect it to be a variety of his "fecunda," which is truly flexuofe.

The plant described and figured as a variety of this by Mr.

CURTIS, N° 127 of this work, has partly its habit and partly that of IXIA conica, and is so equally claimed by both, that we have named it "hybrida " it has the flat hypocraterisorm stained base of conica, and the polyftachious stem, white corolla, and fragrance of this, but does not expand so freely as it, nor so fhyly as conica, and the leaves are rather more glaucous than in either of these.

Cultivated by MILLER in 1757.

Propagates freely.

In bulb IxIA flexuosa, hybrida, patens, and conica, agree to- gether, but differ from IXIA erecta and maculata.

All our varieties were drawn in April at Meffrs.
