Napoleona (To the species described on p)

To the species described on p. 409, Vol. II., the following should now be added:

N. cuspidata (cuspidate). This differs from the better-known N. imperialis in its larger flowers, which are cream-coloured with a crimson centre, regularly five-angled, with straight sides (not five-lobed as in N. imperialis); the leaves are much larger, being 8in. to 10in. long and 4in. to 5in. broad. 1886. (G. C. n. s., xxv., p. 657, f. 147 B.)
