OCTANDRIA MONOGYNTA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope : it 
was sare as into ge: about the year 
1800, 
d straggling 
shrub, with many crooked, twisted branches. 
It flowers plentifully in the autumn. The 
blossoms are placed on long slender pe- 
duncles, which occasions them to be almost 
always in a sort of tremulous motion. 
It is difficult to propagate by cuttings, 
and does not bear seed here, which renders 
it very scarce at presen 
It should be kept in an airy greenhouse 
during the winter season, and potted in 
sandy peat earth.
