Fig. 1. represents the relative position of the stamens and 
style, together with the rudiments of a fifth-stamen. 
It is a stove plant, which requires to be grown in a 
shallow pot. The soil most suitable is rough sandy peat. 
In February it should be repotted with four or five of the 
scaly tubers or underground stems in each pot. During the 
growing season an ample supply of water should be given, 
but it must be shaded in sunny weather. After flowering 
the plant will naturally die down, when it should be kept 
quite dry and free from frost till the following season. It 
may either be propagated from cuttings or by the tubers 
which it forms annually at its roots.
