flowers are very beautiful, the outside of the calyx having a 

 metallic lustre, as if bronzed, and the internal rays being- 

 straw-coloured, shining like satin. If our plant should be 

 found to be the same as herbaceimi of the Botanist's Reposi- 

 tory, the latter name is inadmissible lor a species that is truly 

 shrubby. 



Native of the Cape of Good-Hope. Introduced by George 

 Hibbert, Esq. about the year 1802, at whose collection at 

 Clapham-Common. our drawing- was taken several years ago. 

 Communicated also in August last, by Messrs. Loddiges 

 and Sons ; and is still in flower at this time, the middle of 

 October. Propagated by cuttings. Likes a light soil with 

 peat mould.
