Order. 



MONOGYNIA, 



We received this pretty plant la 1830, 

 from the Leyden Botanic Garden. It is 

 a native of South America, and flower- 



the months of 



ed in our stove during 



September and October. The flowers open 

 one or two at a time ; their colour is exceed- 

 ingly clear and beautiful. The young leaves 

 are singularly marked or painted, whence 

 its name has been derived. 



It may be increased by separating the 

 roots, and should be potted in light rich 

 loam.
