MONADELPHIA DODECANDRIA. 
We received this singular plant from Mr. 
J. Parmentier, of Enghien, with the above 
name, under which he has published it in 
his catalogue. It is probably a native of 
South America, and with us requires the 
warmth of the stove. 
It grows to four or five feet in height, 
and its flowering season is autumn and win- 
ter: it may be propagated without diffi- 
culty by cuttings, and should be potted in 
a mixture of loam and peat earth.
