borne in clusters around the* stem, one tier above another, suggesting a 
parasol, hence its common name. They unfold bright green but soon 
change to black-green and remain so throughout the winter. The strap¬ 
shaped leaves, each from 3 to 4 inches long, are thick and leathery in tex¬ 
ture with a white line on the under side. It likes a cool situation and good
