REFERENCE TO THE PLATE, 
1. A Bloffom cut open, fhewn from the infide, the Chives in their place. 
2. The fame, fhewn from the outfide, 
3. The Seed-bud and Pointal, natural fize. 
Tus plant we believe to be perfeétly new to Britain, and in no other colle@tion, at prefent, than 
that of G. Hibbert, Efq. Clapham; where the drawing of our figure was taken in May, 1802; and 
to which it had been added, the preceding year, by Mr. Niven, from the Cape of Good Hope. 
It is a tender bulb, and rather impatient of moifture; increafes by the bulb;, fhould not be re- 
moved from its pot but to give it freth earth, and is fond of a light, loamy foil. It is without fcent.
