BURBIDGEA NITIDA. 



This is the only species yet in cultivation 

 of the newly-formed genus Burbidgea. It 

 is a stove plant with thick fleshy roots and 

 erect stems, like most of the order Zin- 

 ziberaceae, to which it belongs. The 

 flowers are orange-scarlet in colour, pro- 

 duced in loose, erect heads, that at a dis- 

 tance might be mistaken for those of a 

 Hedychium. The plant is said to flower 

 several times in the year. 



Its cultural requirements are similar to 

 those of Hedychiunis, which see. It 

 comes from Borneo,

 Rondeletias, which see. 



There is another kind, B. bubalina, syno- 

 nymous with B. parviflora, but it is inferior 

 to B. capensis. Both are natives of the 

 Cape of Good Hope,
