There is a very good figure of this little-known 
Dillenius’ Hort. Elthamensis, it having been introduced to 
land from South Africa so early as 1690. It makes a hat 
some greenhouse shrub, 4-5 feet high; but I have never § 
living plant in this country, save that in the Royal re 
Gardens of Kew. It is the “ Great Hottentot Cherry” of Som 
Africa.
