OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This heath, which has been named with a 
view of honouring the companion and fel- 
low-traveller of the celebrated Humboldt, 
is a native of South Africa. Its form and 
growth are pleasing, and its flowers not un- 
worthy of attention, though not indeed so 
splendid as many of the tribe. They are 
liberally produced in LE - summer,

The plant loves aem air : its soil must be 
sandy peat, and it is multiplied with little 
difficulty by cuttings. In the winter it 
must be preserved in the gres and 
treated like others of this genus.
