MONA DELPHJA DECANDRIA 



A native of Valparaiso, introduced some 

 years since by the Horticultural Society, 

 from whose garden we received it. 



Dr. Hooker^ in his Botany of Captain 

 Beechey's voyage, has given an accurate 

 figure and description of it, by which it ap- 

 pears to have been first discovered by Mr. 

 Menzies. , 



It is a low shrubby plant, with many 



branches, producing its scattered flowers 

 with us at various seasons : it requires the 



I 



protection of the greenhouse, and should 

 be potted in light loam. We have not yet 



succeeded in propagating it.
