Dortmanna, Don. After one Dortmann, said to be a 
Dutch apothecary. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Lobe- 
liaceae. The species of this genus are singular and 
beautiful plants, but require a good deal of care in 
cultivation. D. lacuatria succeeds best planted in 
a pot of gravel, and placed in a pond or cistern, so 
that the plants may be about six inches under the 
water. The other species may be grown in a pot 
half filled with peat earth, and the rest with sphag- 
num, in which the plants must be set, and the pot 
placed in shallow water, so as not to immerse the 
plants. They may be increased by division. Sy-

Doryanthes. Named by Correa de Serra, from dory, 
a spear, and anthe, flower; because of the long, 
straight flower-stem. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 
Amaryllidacece. Rather an ornamental plant, re- 
quiring a warm part of the greenhouse, or a cool 
part of the stove; the latter is preferable. It 
may be increased from suckers, which are seldom 
to be obtained, except by cutting a large plant 
down, or taking out the heart of the plant; in 
either case, it will throw out suckers.
