A small bulb of this, purchased of Messrs. Lee and Ken- 

 nedy', flowered all the summer of 1805 in a cucumber frame 

 at Mill Hill, and ripened fruit ; m which, as well as in its 

 •radication, it differs materially from both the preceding 

 plants ; but having neglected to examine its stigma, I am 

 uncertain if it belongs to Iridece. The plant is tender, and 

 should be constantly plunged in the bark-bed.

I have planted bulbs of this splendid genus in various 

 parts of the Isle of Wight : it grows wild about Mexico, and 

 is perfectly hardy, thriving in any soil with a dry bottom. 

 The seeds ripen in autumn, and come up round the mother- 

 plant the following spring, if the surface of the border is not 

 too much disturbed in weeding and digging. It may also 

 be increased by the side bulbs, but they should not be kept 

 long out of the ground.
