The Justicia carnea has flowers of a flesh-colored tint, with many 22^ in bloom at one time, which appear successively for a long ^season. Justicia coccinea has scarlet blossoms which make their appearance during mid-winter, continuing until spring. There are some four or five other varieties, and all are fine plants.

TTTHAT'S female beauty, but an air divine, Through which the mind's all gentle graces shine.' They, like the sun, irradiate all between; The body charms, because the soul is seen. —Touiig. TTTHEN I approach Her loveliness, so absolute she seems And in herself complete, so well to know Her own, that what she wills to do or say Seems wisest, virtuousest, discreetest, best. —Milton.
