riginally brought into notice by Rocque, a commercial gardener 



'Valham Green, near London, who found means to procure the 



patronage of the Dublin and other societies to this plant, which 



^jng a novelty, attracted the attention, and called forth the 



uiogies of Arthur Young, and other leading agriculturists of the 



*^y- Miller, however, at the time observed, that whoever will

natiirally grows, will find the plants left uneaten by the cattle all natives of the Cape of Good Hope. The leaves are truly 



them are little better than biennial plants. The shrubby species, 

 or those belonging to the first section, thrive best in a light rich 

 soil, and young cuttings root readily in the same kind of soil 

 under a hand-glass.
