History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
741. Griffinia. Named by Mr. Ker, after William Griffin, Esq. of South Lambeth, an amiable man, and 
most assiduous and successful collector of bulbous plants. His collection is even now one of the finest in 
Europe. These species resemble Amaryllis, but have broad-stalked leaves, and blue flowers. 
742. Sternbergia. Named after Count Caspar Sternberg, a celebrated botanist and patron of botany. The 
species consist of the hardy plants formerly referred to AmaryUis ; they are all hardy, and, with the exception 
of S. lutea, very rare. 
743. Zephyranthes. A fanciful name employed by Mr. Herbert. It seems to mean wind-flower. These are 
pretty plants, with solitary white or pink flowers. The species are so nearly hardy, as to sm-vive in a warm 
border all but our severest winters. 
744. Habranthus. From difi^as-, delicate, and ccv^o;, a flower. Small Chilian plants resembling the last in 
habit, and principally distinguished by their very unequal declinate stamens. 
745. Doryanthes. So called by Correa de Serra, from Sa^y, spear, and a.v^o;, a flower, on account of the long 
straight stem, surmounted by a head of crimson flowers. This is a fine plant from New South Wales. It 
grows freely in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, but does not flower till it gets large : a conservatory is the 
most proper place for it, as the flower-stem grows to a great height before the flowers expand. It may be 
increased by suckers from the roots, but these are sparingly produced. {Bot. Cult. 181.) 
745. Gethyllis. From y/i^iai, to rejoice. The flowers are much valued at the Cape of Good Hope for the 
delicious perfume of their flowers. The species are very curious : but few have been introduced. Their bulbs re- 
quire the usual attention as to not watering them when in a dormant state; they are increased by offsets or
