Class. Order. 
DIANDRIA TRIGYNIA. 
This has been lately introduced from 
South America: it is a minute plant of neat 
and pleasing appearance, and requiring the 
constant stove heat. The stems are seldom 
above four or five inches in height, and the 
flowers are produced in plenty in the au- 
tumnal season. 
It may be potted in loam and peat, and 
is increased without difficulty by separating 
| the roots in the spring or summer.
