Its native country is unknown to us. The plant from 

 which our drawing was made was received from M. De 

 Candolle. It flowers in May, and propagates readily by 

 means of the little round hedgehog-like bulbs, which it 

 produces in abundance. They should be planted in lime- 

 rubbish, and a little vegetable soil kept just damp, where 

 they will strike root, and speedily establish themselves. 

 Once rooted, nothing but frost or over-watering will destroy 



them.
