the growth of the leaves, till they are about two thirds 

 grown, and then removed again into a green-house, to re- 

 main there till they decay. Similar treatment seems to suit. 

 Coburgia Josephinae* and C. pallida.^ I think the same mode 

 will succeed best with the other sorts, viz. Coburgia multi- 

 flora,}: C. radula, and G. ciliaris : but I have not yet had suf- 

 ficiently satisfactory experience of their culture, to speak 

 confidently ; I believe all of them should be planted in good 

 loam, two thirds of the bulb being under ground ; and 

 perhaps with the most delicate sorts, a little sand should 

 be placed in contact with it. Leopoldia reticulata and stria- 

 titblia,§ which are two distinct species of a separate genus, 

 approaching to Coburgia in the seed, and to Amaryllis in the 

 flower, require the stove, and will not thrive with much of 

 the bulb above ground. It should be entirely covered with 

 the earth, and the pot should stand in a warm but shady si- 

 tuation, and be plentifully watered. The immediate action of 

 the sun or heated air on the coats of the bulb appears to 

 be injurious to it. Mr. Burciiell's Herbarium furnishes 

 specimens of a beautiful unknown Coburgia, with a fine 

 umbel of flowers, apparently rose-coloured, which are pro- 

 duced while the plant has leaves. 



The real Brunsvigias, viz. B. falcata and B. coranica, 

 have a very different habit from those united under the
