the other species, viz. a rich strong loamy soil — in sandy- 

 soils they grow freely, but never flower well, and occupy 

 too much room. It is readily increased either by cuttings 

 or seeds. 



A species, called B. Carolina, is also noticed by Dr. Lind- 

 ley, under the same head. It is equally handsome with 

 the B. picta, but has cream-colored, spotless flowers, with 

 an equally slender mode of growth. {Bot. Reg., Aug.)

TILLA'iNDSIj? 



ruhida Lindl. Maddor-colored Tillandsia. A stove epipliyt«e ; growing one foot high ;

 which continue in bloom some Aveeks. The blossoms ap- 

 pear in a dense spike. It is easily cultivated in a dry stove

COBU'RGM 



humilis TV, Herbert Humble coburg lily. A greenhouse bulb ; growing six inches high ; 

 with orange-colored flowers; appearing in March and April ; a native of Peru; increas- 

 ed by offsets ; cultivated in strong rich soils. Bot. Reg., 184-3, t. 46. 

 Syn. Clitanthes humilis, JV. Herbert 



A " very singular and pretty little plant," with a bright 

 orange-colored flower, which " bends downwards as it ad- 

 vances, after the germ and scape, which were at first under 

 ground, have acquired their full elongation, — and it rises 

 daily and falls at night, and hangs so far down over the 

 edge of the pot, that its limb must be firmly pressed against 

 the ground, unless, as seems possible, it grows on steep 

 banks." It is a greenhouse plant, flowering in March, 

 and, from the bright tints of its flowers, a desirable addi- 

 tion to collections. All the coburgias like a strong, rich soil.

An extremely splendid plant, produced from the seed of

 foliage and flowers, as well as the shape of the bulbs and
