No. 767. 
LACHENALIA TRICOLOR. 
Class, Order, 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope: it 
has been long cultivated in this country, and 
is a beautiful little spring plant, flowering in 
the months of March and April. 
Towards midsummer the leaves decay, 
when it should have no water till the 
autumn, at which season the bulbs begin to 
push again: they produce offsets, by which 
they multiply themselves, and should be 
potted in rich loam, and preserved in the 
greenhouse throughout the year.
