Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
A native of Mexico. It was introduced 
some years since. While in a weak state 
the leaves are in threes, but when strong, 
always in fours. It flowers in July, dies 
away in autumn, and comes up again in 
the spring. 
It increases itself readily by bulbs, and 
should be kept in the greenhouse, and 
potted in sandy peat soil.
