Class. z Order. 
OCTANDEIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, in- 
troduced about the year 1800. It is a tall 
growing plant, requiring the accustomed 
protection of an airy greenhouse. It may 
be inereased by cuttings, and should be 
` potted in sandy peat soil. In the autumn 
its flowers are produced; they are large, 
and exceedingly attractive in shape and 
colour, formed to excite our admiration 
of their beneficent Author. 

** So, in His third day's work, Jehovah s * 
And earth, an infant, naked as she Lo de 
Out of the womb of Chaos; straight put on 
attire, | deck 

xhaling incense ; — her mountain heads 
With cedars, train'd her vines around their girdles, 
And poured spontaneous harvests at their feet."
