a Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This beautiful kind bas long been known, 
but from a diffienhy in propagating it, has 
never been very plentiful in this country. 
Its foliage is singułarły elegant, nor are the 
flowers iess pleasing: they appear in 
August and September, łasting a very long 
while. Being coated with a sort of gluten, 
they are sure to entangle and destroy what- 
ever insect alights upon them. It pur de 
increased by cuttings sparingly. In size, it 
is dwarf; it must be potted in sandy peat 
earth, and preserved in an airy greenhouse.
