BEGONIA SUAVEOLENS. 
Class. Order. 
MON(ECIA POLYANDRIA. 
This plant is supposed to be a native of 
the West Indies; we received it about two 
years since from France. It flowered very 
prettily in April last. The blossoms have an 
agreeable smell. It is easily cultivated in a 
loamy soil, and encreased by cuttings. It 
should be kept in the cooler part of the 
stove, not being very tender, observing in 
winter to water it but sparingly. In the 
summer this, as well as many more stove 
plants, may be inured to the open air with 
great advantage.
