THIS fine Lily, from the Brazils, can fcarcely be thought more than a variety of A.Reginai; to
which plant, both this, and the A. equeftris of Ivlr. Curtis, may be referred without much flexion of
the original fpecies. We have, however, preferved the title under which it has been known fince
its introduftion ; which was, in the year 1798, by the late Marchionefs of Bute, from Spain. Our
drawing was taken from a plant in the colleaion of J. Vere, Efq. Kenfington Gore, in the month of
Oaober, 1803. It has all the merits of the moll eafily cultivated fpecies of the genus; increafing
freely by the bulb, growing with luxuriance in almoft any earth, and requiring but little heat to make
it flower.
