DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of India, growing, ac- 
cording to Roxburgh, in the mountainous 
parts of the Circars, and cultivated in gar- 
dens, for the sake of its leaves, which are 
used in cookery. He says their flavour is 
peculiar, and at first disagreeable, but 
that most people become soon, at least 
reconciled to it, if not fond of it. It 
is also used medicinally. With usit is a 
low shrub, and flowered in the spring. It 
requires the stove, and may be increased by 
layers or cuttings: the soil should be loam 
and peat.
