AMAIIYLLIS IGNESCENS. 
AMABYLLIS IGNESCENS 
This handsome and attractive variety, which is one of the showiest of the jjenus, has been 
imported from the United States of Colombia, and should be grown in a stove-house, with the same 
treatment as that usually accorded to its congeners. Tlie flowers, which are bold and striking when 
fully expanded, attain a breadth of about five inches, and are of a light fiery orange red colour, 
stained at the base with pale green, forming a large gi-eenish white eye or centre, in marked 
contrast to the remainder of the flower ; the stamens are declinate, of the same colour as the perianth, 
with yellow pollen. It is of easy culture, and .should be grown by everyone possessing a hot-house. 
2». 6(1. and 3«. 6d. ; 24s. and 36«. per dozen.
