STAPELIA IRRORATA. 
Class, Order. 
PENTANDRIA  DIGYNIA. 
This curious vegetable is like most of the 
genus, a native of the arid lands which lie 
to the northward of the Cape of Good Hope. 
It was first discovered by Mr. Masson, who 
gave a figure of it in his Stapelie Nove. 
We received ours from our worthy friend, 
George Scholl, in 1799. It flowers readily 
every year in the latter part of summer. 
The plant is easily propagated by cuttings, 
“and should be potted in light loamy earth, 
with the mixture of a little decayed morter. 
It requires a dry green-house in winter, 
when little or no water is needed, In 
summer, Stapelias do very well on a hot 
bed, should be allowed 
moisture.
