Ambrosinia bassii, Linn. Three or 4 in.: Lvs. 2 or 3, overtopping the spathe, the lf.-blade ovate or ovate-elliptic, obtuse, often retuse: spathe ¾ in. long, tipped with a brown tail, divided lengthwise, the anthers being in one compartment (which has a hole to admit insects), and the solitary ovary in the other, thus preventing automatic close pollination. B.M. 6360.—There is a narrow- leaved form (var. angustifolia, Guss.), a spotted- leaved form (var. maculata, Engler), and a form with pale green reticulations (var. reticulata, Engler). Propagation is by seeds started inside or in frames, or by division in spring. The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
