POLYGAMIA MONOECIA. 
A native of the East coast of New 
Holland, whence it was early brought to 
this country, being among some of the first 
arrivals. It flowers in February and March 
with us, and forms a tall shrub with few 
slender branches. It requires the green- 
house, and can only be increased by seeds, 
which not ripening in this country, the 
plant has never been plentiful. 
There is a sort of originality in the form 
of the leaves of this plant, which in a 
moment distinguishes it from every thing 
else. But we live in a world which is re- 
plenished with wonderful productions ; 
“ and to how many pleasures are we daily 
invited, by means of the works of. God in 
the kingdoms of nature and of grace! they 
are constantly before our view, and we can ` 
at any time gratify ourselves with their 
beauties.”
