Fls. in twin spikes on the emersed ends of long scapes, wholly naked, but subtended by a double row of petal-like bracts, very fragrant, with purple anthers: If.-blade floating, oblong-lanceolate, round-based, parallel-veined, 3-6 in. long. Cape of Good Hope. B.M. 1293. F.R.I:463. P.G.4:106. G.W.5:195. Gng.2:25. —A charming and interesting plant. In a protected pool, especially if it can be covered in winter, the plant is hardy in the N., blooming nearly all summer. Removed to tubs in the fall, it blooms nearly all winter; or it can be grown permanently in tubs or deep pans in the house. Requires about 2 ft. of water, or out-of- doors it may have twice that depth. Prop. chiefly by seeds, but fls. should be pollinated and kept above water at least 24 hours afterward, and seeds not be allowed to become dry Var. Lagrangei, Hort. (A. Lagrangei, Hort.), is a rare and beautiful variety, with violet bracts and Lvs. violet beneath. It props, slowly. R.H.1895:380.
