As Us name indicates, it is from Peru. 

 We received it last summer from our valued 

 friend, Mr. Otto, of Berlin, where the Bota- 

 nical Garden is exceedingly rich in this most 

 heautiful and interesting class, as well as in 

 almost all other plants. 



It grows about a foot in height, and was 

 in fructification in October last ; at which 

 time the drawing was made. It requires 

 the stove, and should be potted in sandy 

 peat earth •
