PENTANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope: we 
raised it from seeds three years since, and 
. it flowered in the month of June. The 
blossoms are very delicate, andin the even- 
ing yield an odour much resembling that 
of the Jonquil. 
It may be increased by cuttings, and 
must be kept in the greenhouse: the soil 
should be sandy loam. 
In the arid lands round the Cape, how 
reviving, after the heat of the day, to be 
regaled with the delicious odour of this and 
many other charming flowers. We who 
are so remote, are yet permitted, by cultiva- 
tion, to partake of this innocent pleasure. 
This pleasure too is infinitely increased, if 
we are but led by Divine Grace, to view 
such things as formed by our God, designed 
by Him to add to the happiness of His 
creatures, and among endless myriads of 
His other wonderful works, to assist our 
too backward minds to rise to Him in 
grateful love and joy.
