This is a native of Chili, and has been 

 very lately introduced. It flowers in June, 

 with a stem about a foot in height : the 

 flowers are very pretty, and open a few 

 at a time, in succession, each lasting but a 

 short while. 



It will increase by separating the root, 

 and should be potted in rich loam, with a 

 pretty large allowance of water.
