BRUNSVIGIA FALCATA, 
Class, Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGFNIA. 
This is a magnificent bulbous plant, a 
native of the Cape; it flowered with us in 
the month of September, the flower stem 
being about nine inches in height. The 
blossoms are delicately fragrant. 
The bulb is very large. ‘The best means 
of preserving it is in the greenhouse through 
the year, observing to give it little or no 
water when the leaves decay. It does not 
increase in this country, consequently is 
sometimes very scarce, but of late numerous 
= should have a tolerably large pot.
