So full an account has been given by Mr. Booth of this 
plant at no. 112 of the miscellaneous notices of the Botanical 
Register for 1834, that little remains to be added. 
It has now betn cultivated for some time in the garden 
of the Horticultural Society, where it was received from Sir 
Charles Lemon, Bart. and it proves a very beautiful green- 
house plant, of the easiest management, remaining in flower 
during many weeks in the summer. It would doubtless suc- 
ceed perfectly well in a sitting room, with Aloes, Stapelias, 
and such plants; only it is necessary that it should be fully 
exposed to the hottest sun for as long a period of the summer 
as possible, otherwise it will become drawn, and its colours 
will want brightness. 
Care too must be taken that the pot in which it is placed 
is thoroughly drained of superfluous moisture, by means of a 
deep layer of broken pottery ; for it is more liable to suffer 
from damp than from drought. 
From its sides below the leaves there spring many young 
branches, or suckers, as in the common Houseleek, and by 
those it is freely multiplied, each sucker forming a plant if 
potted in silver sand.
