Blandfordia grandiflora, R. Br. Lvs. 12-18 in. long, 3-4½ lines wide: fls. 10-30. Distinguished from all others by having the filaments inserted instead of at the middle, but in var. intermedia, Baker, which connects B. grandiflora and B. nobilis, the filaments are inserted at the middle of the tube, the Lvs. are narrower, and the fls. smaller. Tasmania. B.R. 924.—The name B. grandiflora is now a misnomer, as the fls. are smaller than in any other species except B. nobilis.

Blandfordia flammea, Lindl. Lvs. 12-18 in. long, 2-2½ lines wide: fls. 4-12, typically constricted near the base of the tube and much lower down than in B. Cunninghamii. E. Austral. B.M.4819. P.M. 16:3.53. F.S.6:585; 18:1829 (as B. Cunninghamii). Var. princeps, Baker (B. princeps, W. G. Smith), has larger and brighter-colored fls. and is the best of the genus. The perianth is longer and less spreading than in the type, and swells very gradually from the base, instead of being constricted near the base. B.M. 6209. F.M. 1875:170. F.S. 22:2314. Gn. 47:324.
