bearing the male and female flowers on distinct plants. It is 

 observed in the Botanists Repository, that this plant increases 

 by tubers produced at a distance from the original root, with 

 which they are only connected by slender fibres. 



Native of the Cape of Good-Hope. Requires the protection 

 of a good greenhouse, and flowers best in the heat of the stove. 

 Blossoms in June and July. 



Our drawing was taken from a female plant, communicated 

 in May 1819, by Mr. Joseph Knight, of the exotic nursery, 

 King's Road.
