It was given to her years ago by Ingrams, the gardener at Belvoir, with the name ligulata, and ligulata appears to be what she used to know as stracheyi, which featured lately in 'The Garden'; she grows it in quantity for its early bloom which is a pleasanter variety than that of others of the family
