Cyrtanthus (To the species described on p)

To the species described on p. 428, Vol. I., the following hybrid should now be added:

C. hybridus (hybrid). fl. light orange-scarlet or bright rosy-carmine. In general appearance this hybrid between C. sanguineus and Vallota purpurea resembles the latter parent, but the perianth tube is bent forward and rather abruptly dilated in the throat, and the segments are rather narrower. The stamens are short, and the upper ones are curved downwards exactly as in C. sanguineus. 1885.
