BEGONIA ULMIFOLIA. 
Class. Order. 
MONGCIA POLYANDRIA. 
This has been lately introduced from 
India: we believe it is a native of Napal: 
it grows about two feet high, and flowers in 
the spring. The leaves are somewhat rough, 
and less oblique than is the case with most 
of this genus. Like the others, the stems 
are succulent, and of quick growth : cuttings 
of these readily strike root, and may be 
potted in rich loam, requiring to be kept in 
the stove during the greater part of the 
year. In the winter season asmall quantity 
of water is sufficient for them.
