The plant which has afforded our drawing was received 

 by Mr. Griffin from a garden in Jamaica, without notice of 

 its being or not being indigenous of that Island. Were 

 it native of those parts, we should have had no hesitation in 

 deeming it distinct from the Cape species, under the name 

 of which it is here published. It differs in having a firmer 

 more upright and in no way glaucous foliage, a full third 

 longer flowers, and a bright green furrowless germen.
