HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of Florida : it is a dwarf 
kind, not much exceeding a foot in height. 
The stem is round and smooth: the leaves 
are about two inches in length, and three 
quarters of an inch in breadth; they are 
smooth, broad-lanceolate, three-nerved, very 
much undulated, and full of oblong black 
spots. Some of them grow in whirls, con- 
sisting of three or four each, and a few are 
scattered. The stem bears only one flower, 
which is turned downwards, and the corolla 
revolute. Its season is September and Oc- 
tober. It ne a considerable time, and is 
without scen 
The root, uu is small, is composed of 
a few irregular scales, by which it may be 
slowly increased. Being not quite hardy, 
it ought to be preserved in a frame in the 
winter, at which season the stem decays. 
The soil should be loam and peat.
