lose. Capsule large, pubescent, three-celled, and many 

 seeded. 



The present handsome and very distinct species is a 

 native of Barbary, Arabia, Greece, and the South of 

 Europe, and is therefore rather tender, requiring the 

 protection of a frame or Greenhouse in Winter ; or if 

 grown by the side of a wall, or in rock-work, it will 

 need some sort of covering in severe frosty weather ; 

 but it is much better to preserve some plants of it in 

 pots in the Greenhouse or frames through the Winter, 

 keeping them in an airy situation, and exposing them 

 as much as possible in mild weather, that they may not 

 be drawn up weak ; they can then be turned out in the 

 Spring, and be planted in rock- work, or in a warm bor- 

 der, where they will produce their lively flowers in suc- 

 cession for a considerable time; young cuttings, plant- 

 ed under hand-glasses in Spring or Summer, will strike 

 root readily.
