GYNANDRIA MONANDRTA. 
A native of China, whence it was received 
about the year 1793, by the late Gilbert 
Slater, Esq. This gentleman was celebrated 
for his love of botany: he introduced a 
number of magnificent plants from China, 
which he cultivated in a very superior 
style at Walthamstow. Our present subject 
is a plant of easy culture, thriving in a 
mixture of peat and loam; it multiplies 
itself by offsets from the roots. During the 
autumn and winter months it blossoms 
freely, filling the stove with its delicious 
perfume, whicb is not unlike the finest tea, 
but vastly more powerful.
