SPARAXIS ORCHIDIFLORA, 
=. 
Class. Order. + 
TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We received this elegant bulbous plant 
of Mr. Synnet, last year: it was brought 
by him, with many others, from the coun- 
try to the northward of the Cape of Good 
Hope. It flowered in our greenhouse dur- 
ing the autumn in great plenty ; but when 
it has been more accustomed to our cli- 
mate, will probably flower in May or June; 
the season in which most of this class of 
plants are in perfection here. 
It will increase by offsets from the bulb, 
and should be planted in sandy peat earth.
