No. 1867. 

 EPTDENDRUM VIRESCENS. 



Class, Onler. 



GYNANDR1A MONANVRIA. 



A native of Dominica, whence it was 

 sent to us in 182.9, by our friend, Mr. Mil- 

 ler. It approaches fuscatum, but we con- 

 sider it sufficiently distinct. It flowers in 

 July, requires the stove, and will some- 

 times increase by separating the root. The 

 soil should be chiefly moss, with a little 



sawdust. 



This is truly not so splendid as many of 

 this interesting family, yet if attentively 

 viewed, and its parts magnified, it contains 

 much for our admiration ; and where in- 

 deed is the flower or the plant which does 

 not ? Every thing which the hand of the 

 Almighty has created is full of wonders, 

 full of proofs of His power and His wis- 

 dom, declaring His goodness in preparing 

 such myriads of astonishing works for our 

 contemplation, and to lead up our souls to 

 Himself ! !
