LASIOPETALUM QUERCIFOLIUM. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of New Holland. It is 
supposed to have been brought to this 
country about 1803, but is not at all plenti- 
ful at this distant time, which is a proof of 
its being somewhat difficult to increase; 
this, however, may be effected by cuttings. 
It is a pretty little greenhouse plant; very 
free in flowering, the season for which con- 
tinues through the spring and summer. 
The soil should be sandy peat; and, as 
it is a plant of diminutive growth, the pots 
need not be very large in size.
