GEODORUM DILATATUM. 
Claes, Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
A native of India, growing in the ground 
in moist vallies, among hills. It was intro- 
duced in 1800, and, preserved in the stove, 
flowers in the summer. It thrives in loam - 
and peat, with a proportion of saw-dust, 
but has always been scarce, as it rarely pro- 
duces any increase. 
It is a graceful and pleasing plant ; the 
flowers are of a complex and beautiful form, 
and their parts, viewed through a micro- 
scope, very interesting, as are indeed those 
of all the individuals of this vast class. 
The mind which is brought by Divine 
Grace to contemplate these things, as all 
formed by the hand of Infinite Wisdom, 
may well exclaim, “ Great and marvellous 
are Thy works, Lord God Almighty: just 
‚and true are Thy ways, Thou King of 
saints. Who shall not fear Thee, O Lord, 
and glorify Thy Name? for Thou only art 
Holy: for all nations shall come and 
worship before Thee.”
