À genus of the same natural order as the common Fig- 
worts (Scropnutariz) of our own country, and partaking 
of the same disagreeable smell when rubbed or bruised. 
Тһе present species, the only published one, is a native of 
the Cape of Good Hope, from whence it was introduced by 
Mr. Masson in 1774. Recorded in the Hortus Kewensis as 
a biennia] greenhouse plant, flowering from April to May. 
We are not aware that it has ever been figured in any other 
work.
