OCTANDRIA  MONOGFNTA. 
Our present subject requires the protec- 
tion of an airy greenhouse in the winter: it 
rows to a bushy shrub, and begins to 
flower early in the spring, usually continu- 
ing through the greater part of the year: 
the blossoms are fragrant, as well as the 
leaves. It may be propagated by layers or 
cuttings, and the soil should be sandy peat. 
This is perhaps the most elegant plant 
which has yet been brought from New 
Holland, that country so peculiarly favoured 
inits vegetable productions by the Almighty. 
Doubtless for wise and gracious purposes 
He has suffered these treasures to remain 
from the time they were called into exist- 
. ence, until now, unnoticed by human eye; 
perhaps reserved to this advanced age of 
the world to afford a more rich and abundant 
treat to those who now seek out such things 
and take pleasure in them. 
The works of God will not always be so
