PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a beautiful little shrub, a native 
of the Cape: it flowers here in the spring 
very freely. Masson is said to have intro- 
duced it in 1774. As itis readily increased 
by cuttings, it is become pretty generally 
cultivated. The leaves have a smell which 
to some persons is not pleasant. It requires 
the common greenhouse protection, and is 
by no means tender or delicate in its con- 
stitution. The soil should be a mixture of 
peat and loam in equal proportions.
