very short, or scarcely a n y ; Imh deeply 6-cleft, regularly
spreading: the segments ovately lanceolate or
elliptical, acute, every other one broadest, marked at
the back with from 3 to 5 longitudinal straw-colour
stripes, th a t are pennately veined, and all connected at
the p o in t; those show faintly through to the inside,
which is of a bright red, tinged with copper, each
marked at the base with a yellow patch, in which is a
broken black spear-shaped mark. Stamens 3, erect;
Jilaments black, connected all their length into a short
tube : anthers oblongly linear, somewhat bluntly sagitta
te at the base. Ovarium 6-lined, warted on the angles
near the top. Style filiform, smooth, terminated by three
flat ligulate Stigmas, th a t are forked a t the points.
The present splendid subject is the production of one
the bulbs th a t was brought from the Cape of Good
Hope by Mr. Synnot, and flowered at the Nursery of
Mr. Colvill, where our drawing was made. Mr. Synnot
observed th a t it was a very rare bulb, and th a t he had
very few of th em ; two of them flowered a t Mr. Colvill’s
soon after they were planted, bu t did not perfect any
seed, which would have been desirable; we have therefore
waited till the present time before we published it,
m hopes of seeing it flower again, and hoping it might
ripen its seed ; but it has not flowered s in c e ; we have
no doubt but it will form a distinct genus from any already
published, differing from Trichonema, to which it
is nearest in habit, by its monadelphous stamens, and
very different stigmas, and probably also by its seeds ;
and we know no other genus with which we need com!
pare it. The best soil to grow it in is a mixture of light
turfy loam, peat, and s a n d ; and it may be grown in
pots and kept in a frame or pit, or in the greenhouse,
or be planted in a warm border with other Cape bulbs
and covered with mats or any other light covering in
frosty weather.
The generic name is derived from aTraraXog, adorned
with ribbons, and avSog, a flower.
