It should be grown in a 16-size pot, in equal parts of loam and peat. 
It was sent to Messrs. Youell from a friend of theirs residing in Santiago, 
together with fifty bulbs of the genus, out of which the one in question and T.

probably new, will flower shortly.

and placed in heat under a glass. 
The generic name is explained in vol. ii. p. 123.
