is kept in a light and airy situation, partake, on the upper 

 side, of the same dark colour. 



We received specimens of this plant from the late Mr. 

 North's Nursery, at Lambeth, in the year 1805. 



Native, we believe, of the West-Indies, and requires the 

 protection of the stove in the winter months, but may be 

 removed into the greenhouse in the summer.
