AGAPANTHUS MINOR. 
Class, Order. 
HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 
whence it has been introduced not long since. 
It differs from the umbellatus both in leaves 
and flowers. The whole plant is much 
smaller: the flower stem seldom attains a 
greater height than about a foot; the blos- 
soms are much fewer in number: the leaves 
also are few, short, and stand almost erect. 
This plantis of easy culture, reguiring merely 
protection from frost. It blows in October 
and November, and may be propagated by 
parting the roots: soil, loam and peat,
