No. 1818. 

 ORNTTHOGALUM ALLIACEUM. 



Class. Ordrr. 



HEX ANURIA MONOGYNIA. 



This little bulbous plant is a native of 

 Chili : it was sent home in the beginning of 

 1821, by Mr. Cuming, and flowered with 

 us in August. We presei ved it in the green- 

 house, and potted it in loam and peat, with 

 a mixture of vegetable earth. It will some- 

 times increase by offsets, and appears to be 

 not at all difficult to cultivate.
