Class. Order. 
DIDYNAMIA ANGIOSPERMIA. 
This is a native of Trinidad: it was in- 
troduced by the late Mr. Woodford about 
the year 1800. We received our plant from 
our friend Mr. Anderson, of the Chelsea — 
garden: it flowered in June and July. 
The stems are succulent, and subject to rot 
in winter. Itis easily increased by cuttings, 
and requires constant stove heat. ‘The 
soil should be peat and loam.
