No. 449. 
CANNA AURA-VITTATA, 
Class, Order. 
MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We are obliged to our most liberal friend 
q. the 
excellent founder of that establishment, 
who has long been celebrated for his ex- 
tensive botanical knowledge, and his accu- 
rate acquaintance with this class in particu- 
lar. It is a native of Brazil, and grows with 
brightness, in scarlet and gold colour. 
It must be kept at all times in the stove, 
and should have a pretty large pot, with 
rich loamy soil, and a plentiful supply of 
water. 
The roots admit of occasional separation 
for increase: it also Wometimes ripens its 
seeds in this country. -
