This pleasing little plant is a native of 
the Isle of France: it was introduced in 
1810, and flowers in September and Oc- 
tober. We formerly kept it in the stove, 
= find now that it does quite as well in 
e greenhouse. The bulbs produce off- 
sets freely, by which it multiplies itself. 
The soil should be sandy peat.
