Bulb small, rounded at the bottom, and tapering towards
the leaves, somewhat like an onion, shell covering of the bulb,
very thin, of a pale brown, sometimes decaying, and leaving
the bulb naked altogether when in flower. Roots oxJibres,
some fleshy and succulent, others filiform and longer, some
producing other fibres of a very small size. Leaves 2, 3, or 4
from each bulb, tapering to a long slender point ; some on
our plants, from the root to the point, a foot and a halt in
length, bent and twisted in various directions, of a very dark
green, semicylindrical, and striated at the back, and flat on
the upper surface, and slightly channelled. Scapes in our
plant six inches from the bulb to the spathe, slightly flattened.
Spathe membranaceous, tubular at the base, that incloses
the peduncle, the upper part split, and tapering'to
an acute point, but not reaching to the end of the tube.
