logue our plant is said to be a native of the East-Indies, but 

 this we apprehend to be a mistake, though continued in the 

 last edition by Pursh. 



If planted in a loamy soil and plunged below the water 

 in the cistern of the hot-house, it flowers freely and makes 

 a very handsome appearance ; but it will not blossom without 

 the aid Of artificial heat. 



Our drawing was made several years ago from a fine plant 

 growing in the stove of E. I. A. Woodford, Esq, at that 

 time at Vauxhall.
