No, 793. 
BROUGHTONIA SANGUINEA. 
Class, Order, 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This elegant plant is a native of Jamaica, 
and has been many times brought to this 
country, but for want of care, is often lost. 
It flourishes with us in a pot, in which are 
several pieces of wood, with vegetable soil 
and moss, kept always in the stove. It 
flowered in August; the stem was about 
two feet high, and the colour of the flower 
of matchless brightness. 
Sloane, who has given a good representa- 
tion of the plant, says, that it grew on the 
ebony, and other trees in the Savannah 
woods, plentifully, also on the palisadoes in- 
closing the gardens of the town of St. Jago 
Vega.
