CHORETIS GLAUCA. 



name of Vino Mercal is obtained. It is remarked by Burnett that the Amaryl- 

 lidaceae lose much of their fragrance when the flowers become double, which is 

 precisely the reverse of the multiplication of the petals in rosaceous plants. 



Choretis Glauca requires to be potted in peat, loam, and sand, with plenty of 

 drainers ; to receive a liberal supply of water when growing, and to be kept cool 

 and dry when dormant. 



Mr. Herbert considers it to be a greenhouse plant, liking a very sandy soil.
