A native of the Cape of Good Hope, introduced into the 

 Kew Garden, by Mr. Masson, in the year 1774, and flowered 

 at the late Dr. Pitcairn's, in 1779, but as yet by no means 

 Common, even in our more general colleftions. 



There is one diftinguifhing mark of this fpecies that we 

 have not feen noticed by any author, the great roughnefs of 

 the leaflets, efpecially on the under fide, arifing from very 

 minute fpines clofely adpreffed to the leaf, hardly vifible to 

 the naked eye, but readily detected by palling the leaf along 

 the lips or other tender part of the fkin. In other refpecls 

 this ihrub is fo well defcribed by Linnaeus in the Species 



Plantarum,
