We received this curious little plant in 
1831, from Mr. Lockhart, of Trinidad: it 
continued in flower for scis months 
during the summer and autum 
It requires the stove, and — potted 
in light loam, increasing by separating the 
roots. 
It appears also to be anative of Peru, 
being figured, by Ruiz and Pavon, Fl. Pe- 
ruviana, pl. 102. The roots, which are 
ragrant, are used in that country for the 
same purposes as the Contrayerva.
