This moft brilliant variety of Hypoxis fiellata, is as old an inhabitant of our gardens as the other Var. 
figured in the 2d Vol. of the Repofitory, PI. loi; it was likewife introduced by Mr. F. Malfon. The 
^ts of this plant are rather more tender, or delicate, than thofe of the yellow variety; which makes 
It fcarcer, and much lefs known. The nurfery, Hammerfmith, is the only place at which we bare 
feen ,t; and, we believe, they have it not in Holland. The root from which our figure was mken, 
had imported, from the Cape, in 1801. It flowers in April, and increafes by the root; Ihould 
^ planted in very light fandy peat earth, and removed from the pot foon after the flowers art 
decayed.
