Puytotacca icosandra is said to be a native of the coast 
of Malabar, and with us afi inhabitant of the stove. Our 
lant was raised by Mr. Tare of the Sloane Street Nursery, 
trots seeds collected, in- Mexico, and ‘flowered in the open 
ground, in July, 1824. Nevertheless, we can but consider _ 
it as belonging to that species ;,both from the description in _ 
the Species Plantarum, and on a comparison of it with 
Mitzer’s figure above quoted. wie
