MARICA MARTINICENSIS. 
: Class. Order. 
TRIANDRIA  MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the island of Marti- 
nique, where it was discovered about the 
middle of the last century, growing in 
moist meadows among the hills. , 
It is a small plant, not attaining the 
height of one foot; with us it requires the 
stove, in which it may be cultivated without 
difficulty in a small pot, inloam and peat 
soil: it usually flowers early in the spring, 
and sometimes produces seeds here, by 
which, or by separating the roots, it may 
be increased.
