Lachenalia with the blolibms bell-fhaped, andwith foot-ftalks; petals obtufe and rolledback; chives longer than the bloflbm;leaves lance-fhaped; flowers of a purplifliblue colour, and very fweet-fcented. REFERENCE TO THE PLATE. 1. A flower (hewn from the outfide. 2. The fame fhewn from the infide. 3. The Pointal and feed-bud. This very fine fpecies of Lachenalia, with its variety, have been figured by Prof. Jacquin in his Icones,and Collectanea; but whether from dried fpecimens or not we cannot determine. As yet there is nofigure, of either, in any Britiih publication. Mr. Williams, of Turnham Green, nurferyman, was thefirft who had it to flower in this kingdom, and to his kindnefs in fending us a fine fpecimen, this year,in April, we are indebted for our prefent figure. It is equally hardy with the reft of the fpecies ofthe Genus, and propagates abundantly by the root; delights molt in a fandy peat ^v 1 ) ?r rrs/sa
