No. 779. 
AMARYLLIS ADVENA. 
Class. Order, 
HEXANDRIA  MONOGFNIA. 
A native of South America, introduced 
some time since: it is a delicate species, 
and we have hitherto kept it in the stove. 
It flowered in May, and again with a second 
stem in June. "The leaves are very long 
and slender, and the flower stem is about 
a foot in height. 
It may be potted in sandy loam, and will 
most probably increase itself occasionally 
by offsets from the bulb.
