SAFFRON-COLOURED IXIA. 
Lat : Ixici Crocata. 
Cl: TRIANDRIA. 
Orel: MONOGYNIA. 
The Ixias in general being natives of a warm 
climate, require in this country to be kept in 
pots, and sheltered either in the Frame, or 
Green-house during the Winter. 
They flower in May, June, and July, like 
other bulbous roots: they produce their leave s 
and flowers in the Spring, and decay in the 
Summer and Autumn; which is the proper 
time to transplant the roots, and to propagate 
them by offsets.
