same time. This differs materially from that, in being- 
altogether a much smaller plant, and stemless ; its 
leaves are also very dissimilar, and its flowers smaller. 
We believe it to be a genuine species ; and although its 
flowers are not so showy as many others, yet their 
singularity makes them desirable, particularly their 
being of a pure white, so unusual in this tribe of 
plants. Like its relatives, it succeeds best in an equal 
mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand ; and the pots 
must be well drained with small potsherds, that the 
wet may pass off readily. After flowering, and as soon 
as they become dormant, they require no more water, 
till they show an inclination to grow afresh, when they 
should be repotted in fresh soil and watered regularly. 
They may be increased by the little tubers of the root, 
or by seeds, which ripen in abundance, if some pollen 
be applied to the stigmas when in full bloom.
