GNIDIA OPPOSITIFOLIA. 
; Class, Order. 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 
whence it is said to have been first intro- 
duced, in 1783; it is only within a very few 
years, however, that the plant has been ge- 
nerally cultivated. It highly merits a place 
in every greenhouse, of which it will not 
fail to become a pleasing ornament: pro- 
pagates freely by cuttings, and flourishes in 
a soil composed of half sandy peat and half 
light loam. season of flowering varies 
considerably: in spring it is generally co- 
vered ; but in the latter months of summer, 
and beginning of autumn, we have freguently 
observed it in great beauty. Plenty of air 
should be admitted to these plants in all 
SEASONS. f
