This pleasing plant is a native of South 
Africa, and was introduced in 1820. It is 
of low growth, and flowers in the latter 
part of the summer.

itis of easy culture, requiring mere protec- 
tion from frost, in an airy greenhouse. It 
increases without difficulty by cuttings, and 
should be potted in sandy loam.
