COLLANIA, Herbert. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Amaryllidacea.
'' I t is much to be lamented that seeds of
the Collanias, as well as numerous species of
splendid Bomareas have not been gathered by collectors,
and remitted to Europe. Most of them
would live out of doors in England, with a little
covering in winter of sawdust, leaves, or ashes, and
probably in the South of Eui-ope, would require no
care, except, perhaps, watering in dry summers.
I wish that I could excite some of our wealthy
cultivators to turn their thoughts to the acquisi»
tion of these plants, and their numerous kindred,
which are profusely scattered over the slopes of the
Andes, and waste their beauties in the woods, as
yet unnoticed by any European traveller." Herbert
on Bulbous Plants, 1837.
