This species has been very lately imported by Messrs. 

 Loddiges from Florida. It flowers two months later than 

 superhum, viz. in September and October. In the winter 

 the plant requires the shelter of a greenhouse or garden- 

 pit, being tenderer than superhum. 



Messrs. Elliot and Nuttall, in their respective works, 

 suggest some doubts concerning the specific difference of 

 the two; but state no reason for their doubt, and keep the 

 two plants distinct, like their predecessors. Mr. Elliot 

 remarks, that carorinianum is not a common plant; and 

 belongs to the damp soils of the low country of South 

 Carolina. We have purposely omitted the figures of both 

 in Catesby's work ; as quite worthless in point of illustra- 

 tion. 



The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. Col- 

 vill, in the King's Road, Chelsea.
