wers are strictly one-sided ; their upper half is scarlet, 

 their lower yellowish green. 



Mr. Ker, in his last revision of the genus, considers 

 this as the only certain species, all the others being more 



or less doubtful.

Note to Brunsvigia ciliaris, fol. 1153. 



Mr. Slater informs us, that the method he has followed with his Bruns- 

 vigias has been to keep them plunged in sand, in a very high temperature, 

 during the months of June and July; and at other seasons to place them 

 in a vinery. Under this plan of treatment, B. multiflora flowered three 

 years successively ; B. Josephinse every other year during six years, with 

 two stems, having from 47 to 56 flowers each. The root of B. ciliaris, 

 from which our drawing was taken, produced, the year before, between 

 80 and 90 flowers on a single stem ; at the time it was figured it had two 



stems, as represented in our plate.
