Collania, Herbert. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 AmaryllidMeoe. " It is much to be lamented 

 that seeds of the Oolldnias, as well as nume- 

 rous species of splendid Bomdreas, have not 

 been gathered by collectors, and remitted to 

 Europe. Most of them would live out of 

 doors in- England, with a little . covering in 

 winter of sawdust, leaves, or ashes, and pro- 

 bably in the South of Europe, would require 

 no care, except, perhaps, watering in dry 

 summers. I wish that" I could excite some of 

 our wealthy cultivators to turn their thoughts 

 to the acquisition of these plants, and their 

 numerous kindred, which are profusely scat- 

 . tered over the slopes of the Andes, and waste 

 their beauties in the woods, as yet unnoticed 

 by any European traveller." Herbert on Bul- 

 bous Plants. 1S37.
