No. 800. 
ALBUCA MINOR. 
Order, 
HEXANDRIA  MONOGFNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape: it has a 
round flattish bulb, from which arise two or 
three rush-like channelled leaves, and in 
July the flowers are produced: these grow 
on stems about a foot high. After flower- 
ing the leaves decay, and towards the end 
of winter spring up again. It may be in- 
creased by offsets, which occasionally grow 
out of the bulb, and requires the greenhouse 
throughout the year, observing to give it 
little or no water during the season in which 
it is in a dormant state. The soil should be 
sandy peat.
