No. 1580. 
ANTHERICUM GLAUCUM. 
Class, Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Peru, where it was first no- 
ticed by Ruix and Pavon. We received 
roots of it in 1828, from our worthy friend, 
Mr. George Eglinton, of Callao. 
It grows about two feet in height, and 
produces its delicate flowers with us in 
June. We have preserved it very well in 
the greenhouse, and increased it by sepa- 
rating the roots. The soil should be light 
loam.
