HABRANTHUS PUMILUS. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This pleasing plant is a native of Chili, 
lately introduced. From its bulbous root 
grow up a few leaves and a flower stem, 
about six inches high, which is produced 
during the summer months. The flowers 
are often followed by seeds, which ripen 
in this country, by which it is readily mul- 
tiplied, as it is also occasionally by offsets. 
It requires the greenhouse, and should 
be potted in light sandy loam.
