Though not fo fhewy a plant a as many of the genus, we find” 
this fpecies of Hibi/eus in moft colleftions of green-houfe 
plants about London, flowering from June to September. 
Its foliage is fingular, its bloffoms fulpbur coloured with a 
tint of orange on the under fide and without fcent ; if fuffered 
to grow, this fhrub will acquire a confiderable height ; it feeds 
freely, by which the plant is readily increafed, and by thefe it © 
requires to be renewed once in two or three years. 
Is a native of the Cape, from whence it was introduced, by : 
Mr. Masson, in 1774. Ait. Kew. 
It will be feen by the fynonyms, that authors have been 
divided in their opinions as to the genus of this plant; Lin- 
naus the younger, in his Supp/. makes it an Hibifcus ; Ca- 
VANILLE, a Pavonia; L’Heritier, an Urena; Mr. AITON, 
an Hibifcus ; not partial to the multiplying of genera, unlefs. 
_ there be an obvious neceffity for it, we have in the cS 
— inflance: followed the firft and laft of thefe writers. =
