No. 1074. 
HYPOXIS ALBA. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Gopd Hope, 
whence it was brought home last summer, 
by Mr. Synnet, from whom we received it, 
and it flowered in the autumn ; the leaves 
are six inches long, tapering to a point, 
and the flower stalk about the same length. 
The blossoms open to the morning sun, 
lasting several days. Our plant differs in a 
slight degree from the figure of H. alba in 
Jacquin’s magnificent Fragmenta, tab. 5 
but it cannot be a distinct species. 
It requires the greenhouse, and should 
be potted in sandy peat.
