In our plant, as it grew in the Chelsea Botanical Garden, 
the scape acquired the length of two feet before it had done 
flowering. ‘The peduncles when in fruit became erect, and 
closely applied to the scape. Germen three-celled, with 
many ovules in each. Capsule obtusely three-cornered, 
three-celled, with but few perfect seeds in each cell. 
Native of Hungary, near the hot-baths of Hercules. 
Introduced by Mr. Anprrson, about the year 1822. 
Our drawing of the flower was taken in May, 1824, and 
that of the leaves added the following year.
