HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope. It is a bulbous root, which pro- 
duces its flowers with us in the summer or 
autumn. It requires the protection of a 
greenhouse, and is easily cultivated, occa- 
sionally increasing itself by offsets. The 
soil in which it thrives is sandy loam ; and 
when the leaves decay, it may be kept two 
or three months without water.
