MENZTESIA POLIFOLIA nana. 



Class. Order, 



OCTANDRIA MO NOG YN1A 



The original species is a native of Ire- 

 land. The present beautiful variety has 

 been in cultivation for a considerable time, 

 constantly retaining its close dwarf charac- 

 ter, being rarely above six inches from the 

 ground, ft is not known whether it has 

 been found any where in a wild state, or 

 whether it was first raised in a garden from 

 the seeds of the common kind. 



It is tolerably hardy, and will thrive 

 either in a pot or border in peat earth. It 

 is propagated freely by cuttings.
