A Figure of this Gladiolus may be found in the Ic. rar. 2. of Profeffor Jacquin, t. 26/ , by thofe who
poffefs that elegant and invaluable work. The plant from which our drawing was taken, and we
believe the first that has been. feen in Britain, flowered in the colleiftion of G. Hibbert, Efq. Clapham
Common, laft year in the month of July. We do not perceive that the treatment of this plant,
fliould differ from the reil of its congeners.
