Specific Character. 



Canna pedunculata ; laciniis externis reflexis ; internis 

 erectis tribus, foliis lanceolatis utrinque angustatis, 

 floribus pedunculatis. 



The Canna pedunculata is a tall, branched species, re- 

 markable for its narrow sharp-pointed leaves ; and, more 

 especially, for the reflexed outer laciniae of the corolla, 

 which parts in most of the species are quite erect. The 

 peduncles too, though, in our individual, not very long, 

 yet exceed those of the more common kinds. 



We were favoured with the specimen from which our 

 drawing was taken by Messrs. Loddiges and Sons ; who 

 had their plant, under the name which we have adopted, 

 from Mr. Roscoe the celebrated author of a new arrange- 

 ment of the SciTAMiNEiE, the further illustration of which, 

 is anxiously expected from the same intelligent source. 



It flowered in the stove at Hackney in March.
