HERMOD ACTYLUS 191, 



There is a variety longifolia from Naples with very 

 long leaves, a variety repens with short leaves and a 

 single spathe-valve and the variety bispathacea which 

 is the form figured in the Botanical Magazine, and perhaps 

 the one most usually cultivated. Is native of the 

 Mediterranean region, from Southern France to Turkey 

 and Greece, and in North Africa. It is naturalised in 

 some parts of Devon and Cornwall. 



It grows and flowers well in the ordinary soil of the 

 Cambridge Botanic Garden, and will grow well no 

 doubt in any light and fairly dry soil.
