PANCRATIUM AMCENUM +. 
Class. Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Guiana; it has been long cul- 
. tivated in the stoves of this country, 0 
which it forms so distinguished an orna- 
ment. The season of flowering varies con- 
siderably : we have had some as early as 
which usually flower in two or three years 
after separating. The plant likes a pretty 
good heat, and will amply repay the atten- 
tive eultivator, by its superb flowers and de- 
lieious scent, which perfumes a large house 
from a single plant. 
* Reduced to about one-fourth of the natural size.
