HEXANDR1A MONOG YN1A 



This splendid plant is a native of the 

 Cape of Good Hope, and was discovered 

 and introduced by Mr. Bowie, as we are 

 informed by Mr. Lindley, who has given an 

 elegant figure of it in the Botanical Re- 

 gister, and named it in compliment to her 

 Grace the Duchess of Northumberland, in 

 whose princely garden at Syon it first 

 flowered. 



Our plant was in perfection in the months 

 of June and July, and appears likely to 

 ripen its seeds, by which of course it may 

 be multiplied : it does also occasionally 

 produce offsets. We have hitherto kept it 

 in the stove, potted in sandy peat earth, in 

 which it thrives very well.
