This variety differs from the preceding, in its /eaves being 
glaucous, the head of flowers more globular, the /fiigma exferted 
far beyond the tube of the corolla, and efpecially in having four 
united pairs of yellow very confpicuous glandular neéfaries above 
the faux, which are hardly vifible in the preceding plant. It is 
known among the Nurferymen by the name of Gnipia grandis, 
from which genus Lacun #a differs only in the inequality of the 
laciniz of the corolla. : 
This is a very defirable fhrub, remaining long in bloffom, 
and is fometimes, but not always, very {weet-{cented. Native 
of the Cape of Good Hope. Requires to be kept ina light 
airy part of the greenhoufe; is impatient of continued heavy 
-waterings ; and flowers beft when kept in a fmall pot. Propa- 
gated by feeds, but very difficultly by cuttings.
