GYNANDRIA — MONANDRIA. 
This beautifullittle plant is a native of 
North America. It was formerly called 
Limodorum tuberosum, and has been long 
known in this country, having been im- 
ported from time to time, but never conti- 
nuing a great while alive. 
It flowers in the months of July and Au- 
gust: the blossoms vary in colour, some 
being much paler than others. We have 
kept it a few years in sandy peat earth, in 
pots, which in summer are placed in the 
shade, and in the winter preserved in a 
frame: they have occasionally flowered, 
but never increased with us.
