KNOWLTONIA RIGIDA. 
Class, Order. 
POLYANDRIA  POLYGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope: it has been long known in this 
country, but as it can rarely be propagated 
excepting by seeds, which do not perfect 
themselves here, it has generally been 
deemed a scarce plant. It is herbaceous, 
growing about a foot high, and should be 
potted in loam. It must be preserved in 
the greenhouse, of which although not a 
splendid, it is surely an acceptable ornament 
during the winter season. Every flower in 
those gloomy months is pleasing and 
delightful to the mind, more especially if it 
helps to arouse us to grateful thoughts 
towards that glorious Being 
. z ee = — brem 
ars all tbings else away. 
By His direction, the fair orbs — 
In perfect order through the e ether 
And all that’s a all that’s pure Udo, 
Immediately fro bright Essence flow.”
