| We have before given a figure of a plant nearly related 
this, under the name of Lopetia minima (vide supra 
| 70: 2077) ; from which this differs in being stemless, the 
Ves all radical, and the scapes naked, or without bractes ; 
|| al which characters, it agrees with Linnaus’s descrip- 
}"0n of Lopexia minuta, in his Mantissa altera. 
| The plant from which our drawing was made, was trans- 
jhitted to us by our friend N. S. Hopson, Esq. from the 
Votanic Garden at Bury St. Edmunds. Native of the Cape 
"Good Hope. Flowers from June to September. Re- 
|{Uites to be protected from frost, to be planted in a humid 
jal, and not too much exposed to the sun. Zz
