D. pinnata fertilized by the pollen of Hoarea setosa, and 
it is nearly intermediate between the tw r o ; the name is in¬ 
tended as a mark of our respect for the merits of our 
Botanical Artist, Edwin Dalton Smith, who, we believe, 
has made more drawings of this extensive family, than all 
the other artists put together; and how they have been 
approved of, is sufficiently proved by the extensive sale of 
the work. 
The present plant requires the same sort of treatment 
as the other tuberous rooted sorts, succeeding well in a 
mixture of light turfy loam, peat, and sand; the pots to be 
well drained, that the w 7 et may pass off readily; as soon 
as they have done flowering, they require no more water, 
till such time as they show an inclination to begin afresh; 
they must then be shifted into other pots, and as they 
begin to grow must be watered regularly; the best method 
of propagating them is by the little tubers of their roots.
