OCTANDR1A 



MONOG YNIA 



A low trailing species, growing in the 

 northern parts of Portugal, in moist shady 

 places. C. Bauhin says, also in England, 

 but this has been disputed till lately, when 

 we understand it has been discovered in 

 Cornwall. It is hardy enough to bear our 

 usual winters without injury, and may be 

 readily propagated by cuttings: the soil 

 should be peat. 



The flowers are very beautiful ; they are 

 produced during the autumnal months.
