Hymenocallis macrostephana, Baker. Fig. 1937. Closely allied to H. speciosa and conjectured by Baker to be a hybrid of that species and H. calathina. Bulb with a long neck: lvs. 8-9, oblanceolate and bright green, 2-3 ft. long: fls. 6-10, large and striking because of the great cup (whence the specific name), which is 2 in. across and as much long, wavy-toothed; tube greenish, 3 in. long; segms. linear-lanceolate, a little longer than the tube. B.M. 6436.—Blooms in Feb. and March. One of the best of the spider-lilies, perhaps the best for warmhouse cult.
