BABIANA. 



A charming genus, with leaves of the darkest green, thickly covered 

 with do-wny hairs, and bearing showy spikes of flowers, characterized 

 by their rich self-colors, or the striking contrast of very distinct hues in 

 the same flower. They vary in color from the richest carmine to the 

 brightest blue, many of them being sweet-scented. As they are not
