NEOTTIA PICTA. 
Class. Order. 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This plant was first sent to this country 
from Trinidad by Dr. Anderson, about the 
year 1805. It flowers freely every year in 
the spring months, and the blossoms are 
scented. It requires the stove heat con- 
stantly; but there is not that difficulty of 
cultivation attending this genus, which is 
so usual in the Gynandria Class. We find 
this kind sueceed very well in peat earth 
and loam: the pots should not be too small, 
as the roots are thick and require room. 
They increase sparingly by offsets, which 
are occasionally produced, and may be 
separated as soon as they are of a mode- 
rate size.
