OXALIS CERNUA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA  PENTAGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope: it 
is a fine shewy species, and flowers abun- 
dantly in May and June. 
It must be preserved in the greenhouse, 
and increases itself by offsets from the 
bulbs. After flowering the leaves decay, 
when the pots should be kept dry till the 
roots begin to push again, which is De- 
cember or January. The soil should be 
sandy peat, with a little loam.
