 very beautiful when closely examined. It was found growing on trees in 

 Nepal, in 1818, by Dr. Wallich ; but it seems only lately to have been intro-

This plant presents a curious anomaly, if we allow Anisanthus to be a 

 distinct genus from (^rladiolus, as " it is the produce of seed from Anisanthus 

 splendens and Gladiolus ColvflUi," the latter being itself a hybrid. This 

 curious variety was raised by Mr. Plant, nurseryman, of Cheadle, who adds
