OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA . 



This has been lately introduced from 

 Buenos Ayres. It has a tuberous root, 

 from whence arises a climbing stem to the 

 height of two feet or more, producing 

 abundance of flowers during the summer 

 months. It requires the greenhouse pro- 

 tection, may be increased by cuttings, and 

 should be potted in rich loamy soil.
