LUCULIA GRATISSIMA. 



Class. Order, 



PENTA NDRJA MONOG YNIA 



A native of Napal and Silhet, orginally 

 classed with Cinchona. According to Dr. 

 Carey, in Flora Indica, it is a small branch- 

 ing tree, growing to the height of sixteen 

 feet, found on the smaller hills in exposed 

 situations, where it flowers nearly all the 

 year. He says it is impossible to conceive 

 any thing more beautiful than this tree, 

 when covered with its numerous rounded 

 panicles of pink, very fragrant, large 



blossoms. 



Our plant flowered in September. It k 

 difficult of cultivation, the stove being too 

 close for it, and the greenhouse too cold. 

 It may be increased by cuttings or layers, 

 and should be potted in loam and peat soil.
