CANNA COCCINEA, 
Class, Order. 
MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA, 
This grows about three feet high, and 
flowers very freely, and at different seasons : 
our drawing was made in January. The 
leaves of this, and several other species of 
Canna, differ little from each other. 
It is — to be a native of South 
America, and bas been introduced some 
years since. A may be increased by sepa- 
rating the roots, or by seeds, which some- 
times come to perfection here: the soil 
should be rich loam, and the plant should 
be kept in a moderate stove heat, especially 
during winter, as in summer it will bear 
placing out of doors for a time, with adyan- 
tage.
