No. 622, 
CANNA PEDUNCULATA. 
Class. Order, 
MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was received from our worthy friend 
Mr. Shepherd, of the Liverpool Botanic 
Garden. Its native place is uncertain. It 
was named by Mr. Roscoe, and is a very 
fine species, rising full eight feet in height. 
The leaves are about two feet long, narrow, 
and attenuating both ways; they are usually 
six orsevenin number. The flowers, which 
were produced in March, grow in pairs, in 
longish peduncles; they are very showy. 
It requires the stove heat, and may be 
should be rather large, with an abundant 
supply of water.
