HEXANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was originally brought from the 
West Indies to this country, where it has 
been long cultivated, and has generally 
been considered as a variety of the P. 
um, from which however it differs 
considerably It is a much smaller plant, 
with the flowers longer and more slender 
in every part. Its fragrance is delightful, 
and it sometimes blooms twice in the year. 
It is necessary to keep it at all times in 
the stove, and occasionally it increases itself 
by offsets from the bulb. 
The soil ought to be sandy loam, with a 
mixture of decayed leaves.
