same time. This differs materially from that, in being
altogether a much smaller plant, and stemless; its
leaves are also very dissimilar, and its flowers smaller.
We believe it to be a genuine species; and although its
flowers are not so showy as many others, yet their
singularity makes them desirable, particularly their
being of a pure white, so unusual in this tribe of
plants. Like its relatives, it succeeds best in an equal
mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand; and the pots
must be well drained with small potsherds, that the
wet may pass off readily. After flowering, and as soon
as they become dormant, they require no more water,
till they show an inclination to grow afresh, when they
should be repotted in fresh soil and watered regularly.
They may be increased by the little tubers of the root,
or by seeds, which ripen in abundance, if some pollen
be applied to the stigmas when in full bloom.
