By far the largest and most remarkable plant of the genus is Moraea Robinsoniana. This grows 6 to 8 feet high and has the habit of the New Zealand flax, Phormium tenax. A splendid specimen mentioned in B.M. 7212 bore 457 flowers between June 20 and October 1. The individual flowers are 4 inches across, fragrant and last only a day. At Kew this noble plant has been successfully grown in the south end of a house. The stately plant pictured in G.F. 10:255 grew in a Californian garden and was said to be sixteen years old from seed. The finest picture, however, is that in G.F. 4:355.
