a seed of Dimacria pinnata that had been fertilized by
the pollen of Hoarea corydaliflora. In habit and character
it partakes in nearly an equal degree of both.
It appears to be of free growth and an abundant
bloomer, as it has flowered in succession the greater
part of the summer. It also produces seeds, if care be
taken to fertilize the stigma when in bloom'. The best
soil for it is an equal portion of turfy loam, peat, and
sand, the same as recommended for the other tuberous-
rooted or succulent-stemmed plants of this natural order.
It also requires a period of rest after it has done
flowering, during which time it requires no water. It
may be increased by the little tubers of the roots, or
by seeds.
