a seed of Dimacria pinnata that had been fertilized by 
the pollen of Hoarea corydaliflora. In habit and cha- 
racter it partakes in nearly an equal degree of both. 
It appears to be of free growth and an abundant 
bloomer, as it has flowered in succession the greater 
part of the summer. It also produces seeds, if care be 
taken to fertilize the stigma when in bloom. The best 
soil for it is an equal portion of turfy loam, peat, and 
Sjand, the same as recommended for the other tuberous- 
rooted or succulent-stemmed plants of this natural or- 
der. It also requires a period of rest after it has done 
flowering, during which time it requires no water. It 
may be increased by the little tubers of the roots, or 
by seeds.
