We have given in the firft Number of this 
Work, an Account of one Species of Canna, or 
a as the common Writers exprefs it, Cannacorus : 
= this is not lefs worthy the Attention of the Gar- 
dener. ‘The Richnefs of Colouring in the Flower 
might very juftly recommend that ; and this the 
_ elegant Variegation. 
. The Authors who have lately written on Plants 
. have all named it; they call it Cannacorus fore 
a Juteo punéiato : Cannacorus with a yellow fpotted 
Flower. | 
The Root is tuberous, irregular i in fhape, and | 
hung with many Fibres.

This is one of the lateft of the Lilly Kinds, 
and one of the moft elegant. The Form of the 
Flowers is the fame with that of the Chalcedonian 
Lilly we defcribed before, but they are larger, 
and the Colour is moft fingular: a deep bloody 
Crimfon.

And though many of the old Writers have di-

‘The Body of the Flower is formed of one 
Petal cut deeply into fix Segments, one of which

In the Centre ftands a fingle Filament refembling . 
one of the Segments of the Flower; and a fingle 
Style grows to the Filament ; and is alfo flatted, 
and crown’d with a narrow Head fixed fideways. 
The fingle Filament and fingle Style fhew the 
Plant to be one of the firft Clafs in the Linnzan

The iad Way of propagating the Plant is 
by parting thé Roots; but the Seeds ripen ene 
and they grow with as much Eafe. 
This is greatly the preferable Method, and this 
we have given at large before.
