HALESIA DIPTERA. 
Class. Order. 
DODECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
fectly known to botanists, is a native of 
Georgia: Elliott mentions it as growing 
ten miles from Savannah, on the Ogeeche 
road. 
With us it is rather tender: we found it 
succeed best trained to a wall, in a south- 
east aspect, where it has attained the height 
of eight feet, and flowers every year plen- 
tifully, during the summer. The year 
1826 being so very warm, it has perfected 
its fruit, which has two broad wings oppo- 
site, with two int ing mere rudiments. 
It is scarce, but in time we hope to be able 
to multiply it: the soil should be fresh 
loam, with a portion of peat.
