This plant has long been known in the 
stoves of this country, as it is recorded to 
have been introduced in 1714. It is a na- 
tive of Jamaica, also of Mexico, and other 
warm parts of America. It is a middling 
sized shrub, and may be increased by cut- 
tings or seeds, as the fruit often ripens 
ere. The soil should be good rich loam. 
e plant is ornamental, and keeps 
flowering in suceession the greater part of 
the year. We are, however, often apt to 
take but little notice of an elegant plant 
.almost constantly before us; or if it is 
noticed, 
* Man views it and admires, but rests content 
With what he views. The — has his Te 
But not its Author! Unconce 
e pa aradise he sees; дщ: it su Б 
And, such well pleased to find it, asks по more.”
