The first plant, which flowered in this country, was culti- 

 gated at Apperly Bridge, near Bradford, in Yorkshire, in May 

 1776, and had been sent there to Mrs. Hird, by her uncle, 

 Dr. Fothergill, in a black Chinese pot, full of stiff loam, 

 in which it had been imported. Many small bulbs, with 

 leaves like those of a Snow-drop, grew near the edge of the 

 same pot in a regular circle, and these afterwarda proved to 

 be Amaryllis Aurea. The Pachyne Spectabilis delights in 

 warmth, fresh loam, and plenty of water, by which treat- 

 ment, and attention to fecundate the stigma, it will ripen 

 fruit here abundantly.

I cultivated this species in a common bark-pit, without 

 any fire-heat, many years, where it w r as more luxuriant than 

 I have ever seen it since, throwing out peduncles four and 

 five feet long, with many branches. It grows wild in the 

 Bahama Islands.
