CRINUM EKUBESCENS*. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the warmer latitudes of Ame- 
rica, and a very elegant plant. The specimen 
from which our drawing was made was a 
remarkably fine one, measuring above four 
feet in height. We are in possession of two 
or three varieties of it: the present is per- 
haps the most beautiful. It has long been 
an inhabitant of our stoves, and flowers 
generally in the Autumn; is of easy culture, 
requiring however a pretty good heat. Sandy 
loam and peat a good mixture for 
rather sio owly. The liliaceous plants are a 
very splendid class, bighly deserving of more 
general cultivation. 
* Reduced to about one-tenth of the natural size.
