ERINUS LYCHNIDEA. 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 

 lately introduced. It flowers in April and 

 May. The blossoms remain nearly closed 

 during the day, and open in the evening : 

 they have an unpleasant M-ent. 



It must be preserved in the greenhouse, 

 and appears to be a short-lived plant. It 

 may be increased by seeds or cuttings, and 

 should be potted in light sandy loam.
