HIBISCUS PEDUNCULATUS. 
Class. Order. 
MONADELPHIA POLYANDRIA. 
This is said to be a native of the Cape of 
Good Hope, and was introduced a few years 
since. It is an ornamental plant, flowering 
in the latter part of the summer, and thriv- 
ing in a warm greenhouse, or a cooler part 
of the stove, in which we have 
very well. 
It may be increased by en or seeds, 
which sometimes ripen in this country. 
The soil should be loam and peat, and the 
pots need not be large, as it is of lowish 
growth. 3
