GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This is from the Alps of Switzerland. 
It is a curious little plant, of rare occur- 
We received ours from Mr. Schlei- 
cher. It flowered in July, kept in a pot 
in vegetable earth, placed in the shade, and 
during winter it was sheltered in a frame. 
We fear we shall not long be able, in our 
dense atmosphere, to retain such a delicate 
native of such light and airy regions.
