33 ACIDANTHERA 
Attractive and long-blooming bulb-flowers for the sum- 
mer garden, that stand in resemblance and in relationship 
more or less midway between Freesia and Gladiolus. They 
are, though, to be handled exactly as one would Gladiolus, 
so far as planting, 
Bulbs of the two species are quite unlike, those of Bicolor 
in shape and form of a large firm Freesia bulb, while 
those of Murielae are like a less solid Gladiolus bulb; some 
botanists, indeed, make Murielae a Gladiolus species. Both 
come from Ethiopia, Abyssinia that was.
