HEXANDRIA MONOG YNIA. 



This is a native of Japan : we received it 

 from our friend Mr, Scbuurmann, of the 



Leyden Botanical garden. This ancient in* 



sitution, interesting by reason of the con- 

 nexion of so many of the early botanists 



with it, we rejoice to find is still in a flourish- 

 ing condition. 



The plant is probably hardy : it is peren- 

 nial, and flowers in summer : it will in- 

 crease by offsets, and thrives in light loamy 

 soil.
