PENT A NDRIA MO NOG YNIA 



This is a plant of rare beauty; it is a 

 native of Van Diemen's Island, and was 

 discovered and figured by Labillardicre, but 

 not introduced till 1825, when IMr. Baxter 

 sent home seeds of it. 



It flowers in March, and its charming 

 blossoms continue long in perfection, during 

 which time few plants can have a greater 

 claim to our admiration. 



The greenhouse is necessary for its pre- 

 servation in winter. It may be increased 

 by cuttings, and should be potted in sandy 

 peat earth.
