Apparently a common Cape plant, with an extended 
distribution from the Cape Colony proper eastward to 
British Kaffraria and Natal. It was introduced into Euro- 
pean Gardens early in the century, being figured in Jacquin’s 
noble work on the ‘ Plants of the Imperial Gardens of 
Schoenbrunn”’ near Vienna. It is not, however, introduced 
into ** Hortus Kewensis,” and the only British-grown speci- 
men known to me is that here figured, which was obtained 
from the Cape by Mrs. Birks, and flowered in the Cambridge 
Botanical Gardens in July of last year. Mr. Lynch, to whom 
lam indebted for sending it, informs me that it is extremely 
pretty, and adorns a rafter of one of the greenhouses in 
the Botanic Gardens. Had it but the odour and hardiness 
of the Caucasian J. officinale, it would indeed be an acqui- 
sition to our domestic horticulture. 
Like all its congeners, J. angulare is an exceedingly 
variable plant, and is indeed more so than most; for along
