This is an exceedingly beautiful species : 
it was introduced from the Cape of Good 
Hope, about the year 1810, and has been 
named in honour of our friend Mr. Joseph 
Parmentier, of Enghien; a gentleman who 
an extensive collection of plants, 
which he cultivates with much success, and 
of which he has lately published a catalogue. 
It flowers profusely even when very young, 
generally through the months of July and 
the same as of the other bal. E.
