STELIS MICRANTHA. 
Class, Order, м 
GYNANDRIA MONANDRIA. 
This eurious little plant is a native of 
Jamaica: it flowered with us in April. 
The blossoms expand in the evening, re- 
main open through the night, and close 
rather early in the morning, continuing to 
do so for eight or ten days. 
It has succeeded pretty well with us 
potted in vegetable earth with a little sand, 
and may be increased sometimes by sepa- 
ration of the root, al h, like most of 
this family, it should be disturbed as little 
as possible. 
It requires the constant heat of the stove.
