which are similar in form to those of the Gloxinia, but smalicr in all parts,

continually throughout the year. The seed is extremely fine, and requires 
similar treatment to that of the Streptbearpus. It is readily propagated by 
division of the leaves, but does not form a bulb, the robtfe being of a fibrous 
character. Will be foumi useful planted out as' an edging in large
