We raised this from seeds in 1818; it is 
a native of New South Wales, and flowers 
exceeding freely, beginning in spring and 
continuing in succession throughout the 
whole of the summer. The blossoms come 
out one or two only at a time, and as these 
go off, others open above them, the scape 
growing from about six inches to two feet 
or more in height. 
K may easily be increased by seed, which 
is plentifully produced, and is often ripe on 
the lower part of the spike while the upper 
continues flowering. The plant must be 
preserved in winter in the greenhouse, and. 
should be potted in sandy peat earth. 
The name has been given it on account 
of three of the filaments being covered with 
hair; while the alternate three are quite 
smooth.
