PHYLLANTHUS FRAXINIFOLIUS. 
Class. Order. 
MONOECIA MONADELPHIA. 
A native of India, and lately introduced 
into this country: it flowered with us in 
the months of November and December, 
and appears to be quite a new species. 1 
grows three or four feet high: the flowers 
are produced in little bunches, from 
axils of the leaves on the lower part of the 
branches ; they are without scent. 
It requires the stove, and may be increased 
by cuttings: the soil should be loam and 
peat.
