pe of Good Hope, is a rival in fragrance to the great-flowered, or Arabian fpecies, to which it is much affined in every part but the colour of the bloflbm;which, in this, is yellowifli, and in that, it is white with a dark eye. It is rather a delicate bulb; andto make it flower, fhould be kept in the hot-houfe, where, it will bloflbm about May or June. Ourdrawing was made from a plant which had been received, from the Cape, by Mr. Hibbert, the pre-ceding year, 18CO; and we much fear, what has been faid of the great-flowered fpecies, may be con-fidered as referential alfo to this; viz. that the bulbs never flower, but the firfl year after importation.We have not been able to trace the appearance of a flower, from aDy of the bulbs, this year, whichhas led us to this conjecture; indeed, many of the fpecies of this genus have this character; moreparticularly, thofe from Africa. It has flowered at Vienna, and has been figured by Profeflor Jacquin in his Ic. Plant, rar. vol. ii.tab. 432. ~
