MALPIGHIA GLABRA, 
Class. Order, 
DECANDRIA TRIGYNIA. 
A beautiful dwarf stove plant, which 
flowers very freely at various seasons of 
the year. Our drawing was made in the 
month of January. Sometimes it produces 
ripe fruit, which is a little like a small 
cherry, and of no unpleasant flavour. It is 
a native of the West Indies, and has been 
long known in this country, having been 
cultivated by Miller in the middle of the 
last century. 
By cuttings it may be propagated with- 
out much difficulty, and, not being very 
tender, may be set out of doors during the 
latter months of summer. Its soil should 
be loam and ee One lt yi is found 
to b i 
several $2 years a wadietacbed: which it its gan 
growth safely permits.
