This curious little plant is a native of 

 Brazil ; it is very slender in its habit, and 

 does not exceed the height of four inches. 

 With us it flowered in the month of August, 

 in the stove, which is constantly necessary 

 for its preservation. It may sometimes be 

 separated for increase, and should be pot- 

 ted in moss, vegetable earth, and small 

 pieces of broken pots.
