crowded with 200 or more pea-shaped fls. each K in. 

 long. In the Flora of British India this plant is erro- 

 neously said to ascend the Himalayas to an altitude of 

 9,000 ft. A corrected account of this plant is found in 

 B M. 7377, from which source one infers that the plant 

 is not hardy. The first plants flowered in Europe 

 bloomed in September and the annual stems then died 

 down to the base. Seeds of this plant have been im- 

 ported by a northern amateur who has a winter home 

 in Florida.

 scape bearing an uuilnl nt pendulous red or yellow

 what stem-like at the base, suddenly dilated; stamens 

 inserted at or below the throat of the tube, indistinctly 

 appendiculate at the base. 



The species of UrceoHna are attractive plants and 

 easily grown, flowering every year, but for some reason 

 they are rather scarce. The bulbs are about 3 in. across 

 and during the growing season have 1 or 2 Ivs. The 

 plants flower in December. After flowering the bulbs 

 may be removed from the stove to the intermediate 

 house and placed in a spot where they will be kept dry.
