A distinct and handsome variety, of robust habit j it blooms in June and July j the spikes of bloom 
are generally two feet in length, densely clothed with very full and compact double flowers, the

who found them in marshy parts, and at the foot of the principal source of Sierra do Mar. Prom

on a silvery white gi’ound. It is of free and graceful growth, and makes a splendid single specimen
