Cl.tss. Order. 



HEX A NORMA MONOG YNMA 



This plant has been long in cultivation 

 in this country. It is a native of the Cape 

 of Good Hope, and will live in the green- 

 house, but appears to thrive most if pre- 

 served in the stove. It flowered in May. 

 The roots will bear dividing occasionally, 

 whereby it may be increased. The soil 

 should be loam and sandy peat.
