739. A7naryllis. Name of a nymph celebrated by the poets, and especially by Virgil. Derived from 
ctiMte^ua-tru, to be resplendent. This is a superb genus : the greenhouse sorts thrive best in a rich loamy soil, 
and should have but little water given them after they have done flowering, so that the bulbs may harden, to 
produce more flowers the following season. Most of them are increased freely by offsets, and ripen plenty of 
seed. A shell taken from the bulb, with a leaf on it, and planted in a pot of mould, will produce a bulb ; as 
will almost any bulbous-rooted plant. {Bot. Cult. 131.) 
The stove Amaryllises grow best in light loam and rich soil, and the strong growing kinos require large pots to 
flower m perfection ; they are increased by offsets and by seeds, which they bear plentifully, if care be taken to 
shake some pollen on the stigma at the proper period. 
740. Vallota. A name of unknown meaning. The only species of this genus is a beautiful Cape plant, with 
bright purple flowers, of which two varieties are known in gardens
