loam and sand as is found in a border for American plants; 

 it appears to be perfectly hardy, and if allowed to remain 

 undisturbed, it will propagate itself by offsets as well as by 

 seeds. At the time when our drawing was made the plant 

 was weak, in consequence of having suffered from a long 

 voyage round Cape Horn ; it has now become stronger ; 

 and we write with a specimen before us bearing 20 flowers 

 in an umbel. It blossoms in June and July", 



At fol. 1293 of this work we defined the genus Triteleia, 

 describing briefly such species as we were then acquainted 

 with. The discovery of this rendering it necessary to amend 

 the characters of one of the species, we avail ourselves of 

 the present opportunity of doing so, and of publishing a 

 fifth.
