MONANDRIA MONOGY NIA. 
........ 
A native of Napal, discovered by Dr: 
Wallich, and sent home by him in 1819. 
Although not equal in beauty to some of 
this splendid genus, it is very fragrant, and 
a desirable plant for a stove: its height is 
usually from two to three feet, and it 
flowers in the autumn. 
The soil should be rich loam. It propa- 
gates itself by the roots plentifully.
