No. 690, 
EUGENIA ZEYLANICA. 
Class. Order. 
ICOSANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a neat bushy plant, with hand- 
some glossy leaves, and is considered to be 
a native of the island of Ceylon. It has 
been introduced a considerable time since, 
and produces its white myrtle-like flowers 
in the summer months. 
It must be kept in the stove, and may be 
increased slowly by cuttings. 
The soil should be loam and peat in equal 
portions: it ought to be well supplied with 
water.
