RHEXIA GLOMERATA. 
Class. Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
We raised this plant in 1818 from seeds, 
with which (among a great many others) we 
were favoured by our highly-esteemed 
friend Samuel Cooke, Esq. of St. Vincent. 
It requires the heat of the stove continually, 
and will amply repay every care that can be 
taken with it, as it keeps flowering during 
at least six months out of the twelve. When 
the blossoms drop, new ones are continually 
produced from the same heads, till the ca- 
lyces (which are permanent) become quite 
clustered together: they are enveloped in 
curious long branching hairs. 
The plant is readily increased by cuttings, 
and thrives in rich loam and peat soil, with 
an abundant supply of water.
