DIŒCIA HEXANDRIA. 
A native of China: we raised it from 
seeds many years since: of late it has 
flowered every year in the autumn. The 
leaves are evergreen, of pleasing form and 
colour, and the plant is seldom more thana 
foot in height. 
It will increase by separating the roots 
occasionally: the soil should be loam and 
peat, and the greenhouse is necessary for 
its preservation during winter.
