Chien, Order. 
MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA. 
This isa dwarf bushy shrub, growing wild 
at the Cape of Good Hope. It was brought 
first to this country about the year 1774. 
It is somewhat tender, and must be kept in 
the greenhouse in winter, during which 
season the leaves are apt to decay. Its 
flowers are very freely produced during the 
summer, and often succeeded by ripe seeds, 
by which, as also by cuttings, the plant is 
multiplied with much facility. 
The soil should be sandy loam; the pot 
need not be very large, nor should it be 
over watered, particularly enting the winter 
season.
