Pyrola is a word considered as the diminutive of 
pyrus, and adopted from the resemblance of their 
foliage. Salisbury formed a new genus for this 
plant, and called it Moneses, from monos, alone; 
in allusion to its solitary flowers. The separation 
has not been generally followed. 
Under No. 575 we described the Pyrola minor, 
a pretty alpine plant, one that is rather scarce; our 
present subject, however, is one of exceeding rarity ; 
and for the opportunity of drawing it we are in- 
debted to Mr. Cameron, Curator of the Birmingham 
Horticultural Society’s garden. In allusion to it 
he says, ^‘It is the first plant of it I ever saw under 
cultivation, and it has flowered finely. It was 
planted in live sphagnum, and a little sandy peat, 
placed under a hand-glass, in a shaded situation, 
and kept very moist. Under this treatment it has 
grown luxuriantly, and continues to do so. It is 
likely to be a plant peculiarly adapted for growing 
in Ward’s cases; but others planted with it should 
be those requiring the same degree of moisture, 
such as the Droseras, Parnassia, Pinguiculas, Tri- 
chomanes, Hymenophyllums, &c.”
