SYNGENESIA POLYGAMIA SUPERFLUA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope, whence it was introduced about the 
year 1799, by Mr. Hibbert. It flowers pro- 
fusely in the latter part of the summer, and 
if the plants are kept under glass at that 
time, and care be taken not to let any mois- 
ture reach the heads, they remain in bloom 
for several months. When nearly over, the 
flowers should be cut off, and may thus be pre- 
served for a long time afterwards in beauty. 
The plant is not at all tender; it requires 
only an airy greenhouse. Tt is multiplied 
by cuttings. The soil most adapted for it 
is sandy peat.
