HAYLOCKIA—HERBERTIA. 137 
HAYLOCKIA. 
A small bulb from Buenos Ayres, allied to Cooperia 
and Zephyranthes. Flowers beautiful straw-color, pro- 
duced in September. The leaves remain green the entire 
winter, making it necessary to have greenhouse room, 
although it is not at all particular as to treatment. The 
foliage dies in spring. Propagation by seeds or offsets. 
HERBERTIA., 
A small genus of rare bulbs found near the Straits 
of Magellan, in South America. It requires pot culture. 
The flowers are somewhat like the Iris, of various colors, 
blue, white and pink. The bulbs are not in cultivation 
for the trade. 
HESPERANTHA. 
Evening Flower. 
A small genus of Cape of Good Hope bulbs allied to 
the Ixia, and thriving under the same general treatment. 
The flowers are small, but rather pretty, arranged in 
loose spikes; they expand during the evening, and are 
sweet scented, but remain closed during the day. The 
position they occupy does not warrant a description of 
the species. 
HESPEROSCORDON. 
A synonym of Brodizwa, Page 45, 
HEXAGLOTTIS. 
This genus closely resembles Homeria, and belongs 
to a class that does not warrant cultivation. ‘The flow- 
ers are yellow, and rather pretty. The bulbs of one of 
the species, H. flexwosa, are roasted and eaten, forming 
a large portion of the food of the Hottentots.
