POTHOS VIOLACEA. 
Class. Order. 
TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is from Jamaica, where it is found 
on mountains, growing at the roots, and on 
the trunks of trees, to which it attaches 
itself by its roots, which proceed from every 
part of the plant: it was also found by 
Aublet, in Guiana. 
It has been lately introduced into this 
country, and must be kept at all times in 
the stove. The flowers are produced at dif- 
ferent seasons: they are inconspicuous, but 
the berries are very pretty, and the leaves 
ornamental. It requires but little soil, and 
that should be composed of decayed vege- 
table matter, mixed with a little sand.
