HABEBL£A (after a professor of botany at Pesth, 

 who died in 1S31). Gesneriicem. This includes a dainty 

 little hardy herbaceous perennial plant, which is tufted 

 and bears in spring a few scapes 4-6 in. high, with 2-5 

 nodding, violet-colored, 5-l(iliid, tubular fls., each about

 are said to be coutiucd each to one spot. The allied 

 genus Raiuondia has the same habit and is equally de- 

 sirable. The corolla of Haberlea has a conspicuous 

 tube, which is thrust out of the calyx nearly H in., and 

 5 lobes, 2 of which are much smaller than the others, 

 while in Ramondia the flower seems to be wheel-shaped, 

 with 5 equal petals, because the corolla tube is very 

 short and inconspicuous and the lobes deeply cut.

 autumn-flowering ; or. when started indoors or in

 through. Yet the species are essentially curiosities in 

 this country. The culture given Nerine suits them well. 

 Their season of growth is usually not more than three 

 or four months, and the remainder of the year they may 

 be laid away in the pots. When growing, give plenty of 

 rather weak liquid manure, keep in an intermediate or 

 warm house, and when in bloom keep them somewhat 

 cooler. Avoid overpotting. Prop, by offsets, which usu- 



H.EMAXTHUS 



ally form freely; and until they do form, the bulbs will 

 probably nut need repotting. Separate the offsets when 

 growth is beginning. In this country they are some- 

 times flowered in pots plunged in a warm, protected 

 border, blooming in summer and fall. For H. toxica- 

 rius, see Buphane disticha.
