No. 1164. 
MARICA SABINI. 
Class. Order. 
TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We are indebted for this beautiful plant 
to the Horticultural Society of London, 
by whose collector, Mr. G. Don, it was 
discovered in the African island of St. 
Thomas 
It was first described and published, 
accompanied by an elegant figure, in the 
Society’s Transactions, in а paper by Mr. 
John Lindley, and has been named in 
compliment to Capt. E. Sabine, who with 
laudable zeal effectually promoted the ob- 
jects of the society during the voyage in 
which it was obtained, as well as on every 
other occasion. 
It requires the stove, and flowers in the 
beginning of summer. It will increase by 
offsets, and should be potted in loam and 
peat.
