This fine fpecies of Antholyza was received by Meflrs. Grimwood and Wykes, Kenfington, from the 

 Cape of Good Hope, in the year 1/96; they poflefs three varieties, and we fliould have been happy 

 to have given a blolTom of the third, but, it was out of flower before our drawing was taken, which 

 was, in the end of June, this year. It is a hardy bulb, and increafes freely, either by the feed, or 

 from the root, and fiiouJd be planted in fandy peat, with a fmall mixture of loam.
