No. 562. 
CANNA FLACCIDA, 
Class. Order. 
MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Carolina and Georgia: we 
received it about two years since from our 
valued friend, Dr. Wray, of Augusta. It 
grows in moist places, and in this country 
must be kept in the stove. The flower 
stem is about three feet in height, and the 
blossoms are large and showy: like the 
other species, they are not very durable : 
they appeared with us in the month of 
ugust. i 
The roots are thick and creeping, by 
which it is easily increased: it should be 
planted in rich loam, and in rather a large 
sized pot, with a plentiful supply of water.
