PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the East Indies. Tt was cul- 
tivated by Miller in 1759, and is a stove 
plant of very considerable beauty, flowering 
in the months of June and July. As it is 
not very tender, it is advisable to place the 
plant out of: doors, towards the end of sum- 
mer, for about a month. It should not, 
however, be left out too long, as the leaves 
If this plant should grow too tall or un- 
sightly at any time, it may be renovated 
with great advantage by cutting it down 
pretty low, in the spring. It will readily 
throw out young and vigorous edt 
from the old wood, and thus form a hand- 
some plant again.
