 PACIIYPODIUM TUBEROSUM 



Ciast, Order. 



PENT A NDRIA VIG YNIA. 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 

 where it grows in sandy barren plains. The 

 root is thick and fleshy, from whence arise 

 small stems, about six inches high, with a 

 few flowers produced toward the top, in 

 succession, for a considerable time, usually 

 in the latter months of summer. 



It must be preserved in a warm green- 

 house with little water, and should be pot- 

 ted in sandy loam.
