angustifolius

Updated: May 25, 2025

The long linear ribbon leaves, often exceeding a foot, spreading in wavy masses round the tall stem, which has a palm-like tuft of them at the summit, are a more ornamental feature than the flowers, which are moderate in size and come late in the axils of the upper leaves. H. angustifolius. A neat and elegant species, which I first raised from seed sent by Mr. W. Thompson, of Ipswich.
