EUCROSIA—EURYCLES—FERRARIA. 91 
EUCROSIA. 
The only species is #. bicolor, which is a very showy 
bulb from the Peruvian Andes. The flowers are bright 
vermilion, with a purplish stripe on the outside of the 
petals, produced in terminal clusters on the slender 
scapes about a foot high. They should be grown ina 
warm greenhouse, where they produce their flowers in 
summer. In winter they require perfect rest; in all 
respects treat the same as the Amaryllis or the Hippe- 
astrum, to which natural order they belong. 
EURYCLES. 
A small genus of bulbs, natives of Australia, and 
allied to Pancratium. ‘This plant will succeed only 
with hothouse treatment. The flowers are white, and 
produced in compact umbels in May. The length of 
time they occupy space in the hothouse, and the care 
required, is not remunerated by their flowers.

FERRARIA. 
A small genus of Cape bulbs, valued more highly 
for their singular appearance than for their real beauty. 
They are of the easiest culture, flowering freely in pots 
in the greenhouse in April. The bulbs are small. From 
four to six can be put into a six-inch pot in autumn, and 
they will commence to grow in February, when they 
require plenty of air, sunlight and water. Soon after 
flowering the foliage dies down, when the pots should 
be put away in a dry place and remain until the time for 
growth to again commence. They can then be repotted, 
or grown on in the same pots, and continued on as long
