EUCHARIS , in See also:botany, a genus of the natural See also:- ORDER

- ORDER, HOLY
order Amaryllidaceae, containing a few See also:species, natives of See also:Columbia. Eucharis amazonica or grandiflora is the best-known and most generally cultivated species. It is a bulbous plant with broad stalked leaves, and an erect scape 11 to 2 ft. See also:long, bearing an umbel of three to ten large See also:- WHITE

white showy See also:flowers. The flowers resemble the See also:daffodil in having a prominent central See also:cup or See also:corona, which is sometimes tinged with See also:green. It is propagated by removing the offsets, which may be done in See also:spring, potting them singly in 6-in. pots. It requires See also:good loamy See also:soil, with See also:sand enough to keep the compost open, and should have a good See also:supply of See also:water and a temperature of 65° to 700 during the See also:night, with a rise of 8° or 10° in the See also:day. During summer growth is to be encouraged by repotting, but the See also:plants should afterwards be slightly rested by removal to a night temperature of about 6o°, water being withheld for a See also:- TIME (0.

time, though they must not go too long dry, the plant being an See also:evergreen. By the turn of the See also:year they may again have more See also:heat and more water, and this will probably induce them to See also:flower. After this is over they may be shifted and grown again as before; and, as they get large, either be divided to See also:form new plants or allowed to develop into nobler specimens. With a stock of the smaller plants to start them in See also:succession, they may be had in flower all the year See also:round. A few years ago the bulbs of E. amazonica were badly inflicted with a disease known as the Eucharis See also:mite, and all kinds of remedies were tried without avail, although steeping in Condy's fluid appeared to give the best results. The disease appears to have died out again. Other species of Eucharis now met with in gardens are E. Bakeriana, E. Mastersii, E. Lowii and E. Sanderii. A remarkable hybrid was raised a few years ago between Eucharis and the allied genus Urceolina, to which the See also:compound name Urceocharis was given.
