The Habranthus is closely allied to the Amaryllis, and has flowers of rare beauty. Prcetensis 
was figured in “ The Garden,” 1878, from plants flowering in the open border in the garden of 
the late Rev. John Nelson, Aldborough Rectory. Plant close to a wall, or in front of a greenhouse , 
at a depth of 9 inches, taking care the drainage is good, o> grow in pots in the greenhouse.

,, puniceus, orange- scarlet, 1 ft 4 
,, trigrinus, deep scarlet, 1 ft 2 
It would not be possible to overrate the grandeur of this noble genus ; whether grown in the green- 
house or stove, their laige brilliant coloured flower heads are the first to catch the eye amongst a 
collection of plants, however rich and varied the surrounding specimens. Place a blooming plant, 
of the glowing Masdevallia ignea, or M. Veitchii , side by side with Hcemanthus puniceus, and ask 
an observer which is the brightest, freshest, or moit effective.
