IXIAS. 
• T * 6 , XI t IS ® s ' en< le r graceful growing plant, with long loose spikes of bloom. The colours are rich, 
varied, and beautiful, the centre always differing in colour from the other parts of the flower, so that the 
Dlossoms expanding in the sun’s rays, present a picture of gorgeous beauty. 
Tne descriptions refer to the flowers when open; when closed , most of the yellows and the whites have the 
outside of the petals red or purple ; thus, the more brilliant display is in the expanded flowers .

MORPHIXIAS. 
These have the same graceful habit as the Ixia, and are very floriferous ; they come into bloom later than the 
Ixias, and continue in flower frequently till August.

SPARAXIS. 
It would be difficult to conceive colours more diversified and gorgeous than is represented by the Sparaxis, 
and one can well appreciate Mr. Saunders’ observation, “that he has seen the knee of an enthusiast bent and 
gymnastics performed over a bed of these, without feeling at liberty to condemn the performer.” The fine 
iorwiP aCt ur £ rovvt h of the Sparaxis, and its rich beautiful colours, mark its suitability for pot culture.

TRITONIAS. 
The habit and growth of these resemble the Sparaxis, but the prevailing colours differ, and flowering later, 
they form a most important succession. The colours range from buff to rose and the richest glowing orange, 
the flowers always having a beautiful transparency. At Cliveden, the late Mr. Fleming was in the habit of 
growing hundreds of pots of Crocata for furnishing jardinets.

BABIANAS. 
The flowers of the Babiana range in colour from blue to the richest crimson-magenta, and set off 
by /'rw gree 5,. hirs 1 ? t ?. foha f e ' the y form a striking contrast both in flower and foliage to the Sparaxis 
and Tritoma. The Babiana has the same fine dwarf compact growth, and is a good companion plant to 
Sparaxis and Tntoma, in pots or out of doors. b 1 v
