This species differs from qualida, its neareft relative, befides in being of a different colour and without fcent, in having a turbinate and not fuburceolately campanulate faux; in having its segments more remotely separated and diverging with a considerable space between each nearly to their base; it has also longer ungues, narrower in proportion to their lamina; the whole plant is larger and ftronger, with flowers more diftantly arranged on the rachis.

The stem is thicker and generally branched; nor are the outer root leaves quite so much blunted as in that.

Leaves about three times shorter than the stem, which is generally refractedly reclined and from a soot to a soot and half high.

Corolla broad-sunnelform, segments several times longer than the tube, which is about equal to the spathe; ungues longer than the lamina with about one half of each de hyaline; laminæ rounded, entire, not notched as the same ally are in fqualida.

Organs of fructification declined- stigmas overtopping the anthers, but shorter than the HULL subscription Library N° syd.

Flowers abundantly about June and is very ornamental, but We have not quite so common in our collections as crocata. seen several hundred specimens at different times, both cul- tivated and indigenous, nor have we ever sound it vary from the above character; hence we have no difficulty of distinguish- ing it with JACQUIN from crocata; nor of differing from him in distinguishing it from qualida, which, in his Fragmenta, he has made a variety of it.
