No. 1802. . 

 ORNTTHOGALUM BIFOLIUM, 



Clas*. Order. 



HEX A NDRIA MONOG YNIA . 



A native of Chili : we received it from 

 Mr. dimming in the spring of 1831, and it 

 flowered in August following. Its height 

 does not exceed a few inches. The flowers 

 are of a delicate white. We have kept it 

 in a greenhouse, but it will probably bear 

 the winter in a sheltered place out of doors. 



It will increase by offsets from the bulbs. 

 The soil should be light sandy loam.
