CRINUM MAURITIANUM. 
Class. Order, 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is from the Isle of France: we were 
favoured with bulbs of it some years since 
by our kind friend Dr. Thompson. It 
grows to about three or four feet in height ; 
the leaves are numerous, very smooth, and 
a aes deal channelle 
owers are rather small proportioned 
ia ma plant, the whole head being about 
nine inches over. It bloomed in the be- 
ginning of spring, and the flowers were 
succeeded by some bulbous seeds, by which 
it may be increased, but it seldom produces 
any offsets. 
It requires to be constantly preserved in 
the stove, and the soil should be loam and 
peat, with a small portion of sand.
