GLOBBA CAREYANA. 
Class, Order, 
MONANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Pegu: according to the Flora 
Indica it was introduced by Mr. F. Care 
into the botanic garden at Calcutta, where 
it flowers in August. 
It has lately been brought to this coun- 
try, and flowered with us in September last, 
its stems being about a foot high: these 
are of an herbaceous consistence, dying off 
towards winter, and springing up from the 
root again in the beginning of summer. 
It must be preserved in the stove, and is 
increased by dividing the root, which ope- 
ration is best performed in the spring: the 
soil should be loam and peat.
