We have here a very pretty flowering stove 
plant, a native of the Phillipine islands, in- 
troduced about A 1802. 
It produces its blossoins at diferent sea- 
sons with us, continuing a long time in suc- 
cession. The rich marking on the petals 
gives it a striking appearance. It is easily 
cultivated in a moderate sized pot and loamy 
soil; and may be increased with facility by 
cuttings. ; 
Being not very tender, it - be inured 
in the summer months to the open air with 
much advantage.
