rather shortest, sterile ones short and subulate, curved

Our drawing of this pretty species was taken from
the fine collection of Robert H. Jenkinson, Esq. last
autumn, where it continued in full bloom for a length
of time, and plants of it are n’ow in blossom at Mr.
Colvill’s nursery, so that it may be expected to flower
all the summer. The best mode of treatment, is to
keep them quite dry when in a dormant state, but as
soon as they begin to grow, they should be fresh planted
in well-drained pots. They succeed in an equal portion

watered regularly. The best method of propagating
them is from seeds, which ripen plentifully; they may
also be increased from the little tubers of the roots.
This plant, with some other nearly related ones, are
so different in character from the other species of
Hoarea we have already published, that they might with
propriety be detached into a distinct genus; but we
think it best at present to alter the generic character a
little, so as to comprise them all, and to divide the
genus into two sections.
