No. 1096, 
OXALIS TENELLA. 
Class, Order. 
DECANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
This is a native of the neighbourhood of 
the Cape of Good Hope, and was first de- 
scribed and figured by Jacquin, in his valu- 
able monograph on this pretty genus. 
We received it last summer of Mr. Syn- 
net, who brought it among his collection 
from Africa: it flowered in September. 
It requires the greenhouse, and should | 
be kept nearly dry during that part of the 
year in which the bulbs lie dormant: in 
the growing season it must have a good 
supply of water. It increases by offsets from 
the bulbs, and should be potted in sandy 
peat.
