 A very remarkable and beautiful flowering bulbous plaut,, s^ut 

 frtpn Califonua by AI r. JDoiuias, to the London Horticultural Society. Jt 

 llowers at midsummer, at which season it contributes, with some other 

 species, to give quite a new li ■attire to the flower garden, it appeals tO/]»e 

 cultivated without difficulty ; hitherto it has been planted in the open border 

 in tile summer only ; its bulbs have been taken up as soon as the leaves 

 vere withered; they have been kept dry till they begin to shoot, which ris 

 about Christmas ; and then have been planted in pots in the greenhouse, 

 whence they have been again transferred to the open border, as soon as the 

 chance of spring frosts were over. It succeeds in common garden soil. 

 The- Stems grow about two feet liigh ; tile flowers are placed nil stiff stalks, 

 and remain expanded for several days. The sepals are green ; the pe tails 

 lire pure white at all the widest parts, and yellowish at the base, where they 

 have a deep crimson wedge shaped stain, terminated by a yellowish spof; 

 above the latter is a deep blood-coloured stain, bordered with yellow ; and 



»cen the last and the end of the petal is another paler spot of red, without 

 any yellow. [We pn some the plant may be cultivated with the same ease 

 ami treatment as the well-known Tigridia pavonia, Tiger Flower. — Cond.] 

 C'aloehortus, from Judus, handsome ; and cliurtus, grass. • r

 lor its narrow leaves and hairy surface. It is about a foot liigh ; the spike 

 of (lowers is elegantly coloured with bluish lilac, and there is a deep crimson 

 *tttiu in tile middle of the standard. The spike is covered with dowers in 

 an irregular- manner. It is not so pretty a species as many others of this 



■i-alU beautiful genus.'' It probably requires a shady situation; Lupi
