No. 6158. 
PONTEDERIA LANCEOLATA., 
Class. Order 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Native of South Carolina and Georgia, 
near Savannah, according to Nuttall. With 
us it requires to be preserved in the stove, 
and the pot should always stand in a pan of 
water. Our plant grew to about two feet 
high, and flowered for a long while, the 
blossoms coming out a few at a time in 
succession, during the months of August 
and September. 
The soil should be rich loam, and the 
roots will admit of being occa- 
sionally for increase, which operation ought 
to be performed in the spring.
