DECANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
An elegant flowering plant, introduced 
some time since from China : itblooms early 
in the spring: the number of the flowers 
on each head is usually about five, although 
this is of course subject to variation. 
It is very difficult to increase, for which 
reason it has always been scarce, and is not 
likely to become otherwise, as importations 
from such a very distant country are neces- 
sarily precarious. 
Tt 1 greenhouse, and grows 
very well in sandy peat soil.
