Viviani, and also in Calabria ; Desfontaines brought it from 

 near Belis, in the Atlantis ; and finally^ it was discovered 

 in Madeira by the Rev. Mr. Lowe, to whom we owe its 

 introduction to our gardens. 



It is a neat little plant, requiring the same kind of treat- 

 ment as Ixias and other Cape bulbs : that is to say, to be 

 kept quite dry and quiescent during summer. Under such 

 management, Mr. Henderson, at Lord Milton's, succeeds in 



making it flower freely every spring. For the speci..,w„o 

 from which the drawing was taken we are obliged to Mr. 

 Henderson, and also to the Rev. Mr. Berkeley, by whom
