CYRTANTHUS SPIRALIS. 





Class. Order. 



HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA 



This is a native of South Africa, near 

 Algoa Bay. We received bulbs of it in 

 1831, and it flowered in March 1833, con- 

 tinuing several weeks. 



It requires theprotection of a greenhouse, 



and may be potted in sandy peat earth. 

 We have not yet observed any appearance 

 of increase from it, and probably it will 

 therefore continue to be a scarce plant.
