TRIANDR1A 



MONOG YNIA 



This is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope, and was introduced in 1789. Its 

 flowers are most splendid in their vividly 

 contrasted colours, and it is a great orna- 

 ment of the greenhouse when in perfec- 

 tion ; or it may be kept very well in a bor- 

 der close to the front of a stove, with no 

 other protection, ft increases by offsets 

 from the bulbs, or by seeds, which are often 

 produced. The soil should be sandy peat.
