POLYADELPHIA ICOSANDRIA. 
This is a low neat plant, with slender, 
somewhat pendulous, branches: the flowers 
commonly appear two or three together, 
a short distance from the ends of the 
branches: sometimes they are terminal. 
They are extremely beautiful, but without 
scent: its leaves, however, are slightly aro- 
matic. It isa native of the South Coast of 
New Holland, and was introduced in the 
year 1803. With us it requires the green- 
house treatment, and is propagated by cut- 
tings. The soil should be loam and peat in 
equal proportions. This plant requires ra- 
ther a large share of water, especially in hot 
weather.
