first sent to this country by Mr. Masson, in
1774. It is now frequently brought over
in collections of bulbs, and is a very shewy
plant. It must be kept in the greenhouse,
and flowers during the summer months;
producing its blossoms more regularly than
the greater part of the large African bulbs
do in this country.

It should be potted in sandy peat and
loam, requiring a rather large pot, with a
good supply of water, during the growing

season, and little or none at other times.

It succeeds best in a small pot, in light

This is a native of Jamaica, growing on
trees. The stems are numerous, from one
to six inches in length, each having one
joint, where it ends in an oblong leaf;
which is tapering at the base, and rounder
at the upper end. At the base of the leaf,
from a spathe nearly an inch long, proceeds
the flower stem, which is naked for six
inches, having several reed-like joints.
The raceme is more than six inches in
length, containing thirty or forty flowers,
all hanging downwards, and of a very deli-
cate form and texture. Our plant bore
near twenty flower stems, which were in
perfection in the month of September. It
requires the stove, and may be increased by
separating the roots. It should be planted
in soil composed of sawdust, moss, and
sand; and the surface covered with moss in
a growing state, which seems to suit this
curious tribe of plants better than any thing
we have yet discovered.

MONADELPHIA TRIANDRIA.

This genus is named by Mr. Brown in
honour of P. Renealmus, a Physician at
Blois, who published a work on plants in
1611, and was the first author who paid any
attention to the number, situation, and pro-
perties of the stamens in flowers. The
Renealmia of Linnaeus has nothing to do
with this, being no morethan Alpinia. Our

DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA.
A native of New South Wales, introduced
a few years since. It flowers in March:
the blossoms are of a delicate pale blue,
and very pretty. It requires the greenhouse,
and has hitherto been only increased by
seed, which must be obtained from its
native place of growth, as it has not been
perfected in this country. The soil should
be sandy peat and loam.

Hibiscus rosa smeusis 74472

HIBISCUS ROSA-SINENSIS—mbra.

MONA DELPHIA POLYANDRIA.
This, as well as the other varieties of this
magnificent plant, is much cultivated in
China, and has been introduced many years
since into this country. It flowers with
proper treatment almost the whole of the
year. We have a specimen planted in the
ground and trained to the back wall of a
stove, which presents а perpetual display of
its superb blossoms. ; ;
In India, the flowers are |
natives, to decorat heir
temples, and some of the Europeans there

call it the shoe plant,
ful flowers to rub over 1
instead of blacking.
It is readily increased by cuttings, and

A native of the Cape of Good Hope,
long since introduced, having been figured
by Dillenius in the Hortus Elthamensis. It
is a greenhouse plant, requiring but little
room, and no particular care. It flowers
during the summer and autumn. It may
be increased by offsets, and should be
potted in light loam.

HELONIAS LATA.

Class. Order.
HEXANDRIA TRIGYNIA.

A native of North America, growing in
shady rich soils in Virginia and Carolina.
The root, which is a small bulb, is used in
some places to destroy flies, by bruising and
mixing it with honey.

It endures our winters pretty well, and
may be kept in a pot or planted in the
ground in peat earth. It flowers in July:
the stems are usually a foot in height, and
the flowers last a long time.

This is a native of Brazil, and has
been introduced by the Horticultural
Society. It flowered with us in March,
and, like the others of this genus, is ex-
tremely curious.

It requires the heat of the stove at all
seasons, and sometimes increases itself by
offsets, which should be potted in loam and

POLYGALA ATTENUATA.

Class, Order.
DIADELPHIA OCTANDRIA.

À native of the aps of Good Hope,

whence it has lately been introduced. It
is a moderate sized shrub, with loose
branches; at the ends of which the flowers
are produced, usually in the spring: they
are very ornamental, and continue long in
beauty.
The plant requires the protection of a
greenhouse: it maybe propagated, although
with difficulty, by cuttings, and should be
potted in sandy peat earth.

In closing the tenth volume, which com-
pletes our first series of 1000 subjects, we
beg to express our obligations to those
kind friends whose liberal patronage has
encouraged us to go on in our humble
exertions. We have endeavoured to pour-
tray some small portion of the wonderful
works of our great and glorious Creator,
and, cheered by the approbation which we
have met with, we propose to commence

another series. Looking around, we behold
new and. interesting articles each day in-
creasing. + Hitherto the Lord has merci-
fully helped us; therefore will we ‘ yet
speak of the glorious honour of His
Majesty, and of His wondrous works. The
Lord is gracious, and full of compassion,
slow to anger, and of great mercy. The
Lord i is good to all, and his tender mercies
‘are over all his works. d
