No. 608. 
CALADIUM MACULATUM. 
Class. Order. 
MONG@CIA POLYANDRIA. 
A native of South America: it seems to 
differ little from Seguinum, excepting that 
the leaves are somewhat more pointed and 
narrower, and the spots are much more 
numerous and beautiful, giving the plant a 
very lively and pleasing appearance as an 
ornament for the stove, in whichit is ne- 
cessary to preserve it constantly. It is of 
late introduction, and may be increased by 
cuttings: the soil should be rich loam, 
with a liberal supply of water.
