ORN ITHOGALUM LONGIBRACTEATUM. 
Class, Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a slender bulbous plant, a native 
of the Cape of Good Hope, and was intro- 
duced in 1912. The leaves are long and 
weak, and the flower stem rises nearly two 
. feet, sometimes blooming in the spring, and 
a second time in autumn. 
It requires the greenhouse, and will 
sometimes increase by offsets: the soil 
should be sandy peat.
