Cult. This is a genus of pretty little plants. All the species 
require to be grown in small pots, well drained with sherds, in a 
mixture of peat and sand. They are increased by dividing at 
the root. Those natives of warm climates require protection in 
winter, by placing them in a frame or green-house.
