This splendid species is a native of the 
Cape, introduced in 1792. The blossoms 
are produced early in the spring; and con- 
tinue in beauty a considerable time. It may 
be propagated by cuttings, and thrives in a 
soil composed of loam and peat in equal 
proportions. In winter it reguires the pro- 
tection of the greenhouse, and should not be 
overwatered : if this is attended to, it will be 
found to be a plant of very easy culture.
