Native of the Cape of Good Hope. Long known in our 
Herbariums and the various botanical systems, though lately 
introduced into our gardens, where we believe it has now 
flowered for the first time. 
By its original observer, the species had been ranked 
under the head Lonicera; but was afterwards referred by 
Jussieu to its true station, the Rusrace®, though that 
learned botanist, in adopting an erroneous description, re- 
presenting the seeds of the berry as solitary, has placed the 
plant in a wrong section of the order. Mr. Brown having
