We mould not have hefitated to confider our plant as one 

 of the varieties of conifera % and of the particular one figured 

 by Breynius, were it not for the total want of all woollinefs 

 in the head of flowers. At the fame time the (hortnefs and 

 greater regularity of the involucre which has the fame colour as 

 the leaves, and the verticillate branches, feparate it from 

 fallens^ with which the ftnoothnefs of the head unites it. In 

 this dilemma we have thought it fafeft to confider this plant as 

 an intermediate fpecies, diftincl from both. 



A native of the Cape of Good Hope, of as eafy culture as 

 any of the genus. 



Our drawing was taken from a plant communicated by 

 Meflrs. Napier and Chandler in June laft ; we were foon 

 after favoured with another by our friend Mr. Samuel Curtis 

 of Walworth.
