Class. Order. 



OCTANDR1A MONOGYNIA 



This is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope : it was introduced in ISOO by Mr. 

 Hibbert. It grows rather tall, with long 

 branches, and flowers towards the tops of 

 them early in the spring. It requires pro- 

 tection from frost, and at the same time 

 abundance of fresh air. Cuttings of it will 

 strike root, and should be potted in peat 

 earth.
