	Being tenderer than the poker plant, and of more difficult culture, blandfordias are rarely grown in America. B. flammea var. princeps is the best kind. In New South Wales they grow in peat bogs and on shady mountain sides. During the growing season they must be shaded from bright sunshine, and during the resting season they may be placed in a light pit, in which they are not crowded or shaded by taller plants. They like a moist atmosphere and plenty of air, but not draughts. The chief element of the potting soil should be peat; if the peat is heavy, use freely; if light, use some loam, and pack firmly; if spongy, add some charcoal. Pot after flowering, in early spring, being careful not to overpot, and plan to leave roots undisturbed for two years at least. A top-dressing each year and liquid manure during growing season, is necessary to produce a good flowering. Perfectly hardy in central Florida when grown in lath-houses.—Propagation is by seeds sown in sandy peat with mild bottom heat, or usually by careful and not too frequent divisions of the root, made in early spring, after flowering, at the time of repotting, and preferably when strong offsets are formed.

			Blandfordia (after George, Marquis of Blandford). Liliaceae. Tender rhizomatous plants from Australia and Tasmania, placed by Baker (Jour. Linn. Soc. 11:364) between Kniphofia and Funkia; adapted to culture in greenhouses. Blandfordia of Andrews is a synonym of Galax.

			Roots thickly fibrous: Lvs. in two vertical ranks, narrowly linear, hard, persistent: fls. large, 1½-3 in. long, showy, nodding, in short racemes, usually orange- red to crimson, with yellow tips.—The authorities recognize only 4 botanical species, but those below are horticulturally distinct from one another.
