OXALIS BOWIEANA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
This is a magnificent species, lately in- 
troduced from the Cape, and has been 
named after Mr. Bowie, who is said to have 
discovered and sent it home. Its flowering 
stems are upwards of a foot in height, and 
are produced in succession for a consider- 
able time during summer. 
The bulbs increase by offsets, and should 
be potted in rich loam, and preserved in 
the greenhouse.
