properly separated from the genus, we prefer retaining the 
name of Cyrrantuus for the more numerous assemblage. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope, from whence it was 
sent in 1822, by Mr. Vitter, a gentleman in correspon- 
dence with the Horticultural Society. It flowered at their 
“magnificent establishment at Chiswick, in January 1823, 
but the leaves did not appear till sometime after the 
flower was quite decayed. Requires the protection of the 
greenhouse.
