GYNANDRIA DIANDRIA. 
Lately introduced from New South 
Wales. It is a delicate, slender growing - 
plant, apparently of but short duration: it 
grows to about a foot and a half in height, 
. and flowers in the months of May and June, 
in a sort of loose pyramid. The blossoms 
are very beautiful, and are possessed of the 
same irritable property in the column which 
we have already noticed in a former species, 
No. 17]. 
It appears probable that it will ripen its 
seeds, by which it may be readily mul- 
tiplied, of course. In winter it must be 
kept from danger of frost, in an airy green- 
house. The soil should be sandy peat.
