No. 1881. 

 HEDYCHIUM ELLTPTICUM, 



Claps. Order. 



MONA NDRTA MONOG YNIA. 



This pleasing species was discovered in 

 1802, by Dr. Hamilton, at Naramhetty, 

 in Upper Napal. Shortly afterwards it 

 was introduced into the Liverpool Garden, 

 whence we received it. 



With us it requires the protection of 

 the stove, attaining the height of four 

 feet, and flowering in August. It may be 

 readily increased by dividing the roots, 

 which should be planted in rich loam, and 

 in rather large sized pots.
