For the drawing of the prefent plant, as well as of Me- 

 lanthium monopetalum and Aponogeton dijlachyon, we are 

 obliged to the kindnefs of Sir Joseph Banks, for whofe 

 library the original drawings were made. It is a native of the 

 Cape of Good Hope. Has feveral times flowered at MeflTrs. 

 **** and Kennedy's ; but as we never had an opportunity of 

 feeing it while hi bloom, we fhall not attempt any further 

 "efcription than is given in the fpecific characler. Is faid to 

 * ar y with a yellow tube and violet-coloured limb. Grows on 

 hl Hs between Cape Town and the Table Mountain. The
