falcate toothed ciliated scales, while the fifth petal is oblong, 

 with a tubercle in the middle, and a pair of small narrow 

 lobes at its base, as is shewn at fig. 1. 



It is a neat little greenhouse perennial, requiring a soil 

 composed of sandy peat, mixed with a small portion of loam. 



It should be kept in small pots, and treated as a sub- 

 aquatic during the growing season in summer, but must be 

 kept rather dry during the winter, and in a cool part of the 

 greenhouse, where there is plenty of light and air. It is 

 easily increased from seeds.
