No. 1902. 



HEDYCHTUM STENOPETALUM. 



Class. Order. 



MONA NDRIA MO NOG YNIA 



This was introduced lately by Dr. Wal- 

 lich, from India. It grows to the height of 

 six feet or more, having leaves about a foot 

 and a half long, and flowered with us in the 

 month of March, 1832. 



Like the other species, it requires the 

 stove, and to be cultivated in perfection 

 should have a large sized pot and rich loamy 

 soil. It will increase by separating its 

 knobby roots early in the spring.
