POraOS MJCROPHYLLA. 



Class. Order, 



TETRANDRJA MONOG YMA 



This neat species is a native of Brazil. 

 We received it from the Leyden Garden in 

 1830, and it flowered in the autuum of that 



year 



In size it is among the smallest of 



the genus, not attaining the height of one 

 foot from the pot. It requires the protec- 

 tion of the otove, and may be sometimes in- 

 creased by dividing the roots. The soil 

 should be loam and peat.
