Spreciric Cuaracter.—Stem three-cornered. Leaves alternate, lanceolate, entire. Flowers solitary, axillary. 
Description, &c.—This very pretty plant is a native of New Holland, whence it was introduced in the year 
1790; and it has almost ever since that period (now nearly sixty years) been a favourite plant in greenhouses and 
balconies. It is very nearly hardy, and only requires to be protected from frost during winter; and, in fact, it 

flowers better when it is allowed plenty of free air during the summer months, than when it is kept in a very 

warm situation. |
