No. 705, 
HEDYCHIUM COCCINEUM. 
Class. Order. 
MONANDRIA MONOGFNIA. 
A native of Upper Napal, where it was 
discovered by Dr. Buchanan, in 1802, and 
has lately been brought to this country. 
It lowered with us in the month of Septem- 
ber ; the stem being about six feet in height : 
it is beautiful and fragrant. The plant is 
not tender, but thrives very well in a cooler 
part of the stove. It should have a good 
sized pot, and be planted in rich loam: it 
likes plenty of water, and may be increased 
without much difficulty by separating the 
roots in the spring.
