CRASSULA CORDATA. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
This little succulent plant is a native of 
the Cape of Good Hope, and is said to have 
been introduced in the year 1774, by Mr. 
Francis Masson. Its branches are nume- 
rous, and put forth roots at the joints, by 
which it is increased without difficulty. 
The flowers last a good while: they are 
produced in small bunches near the ends of 
the branches, usually in the autumn and 
winter. Like most of the others of this 
family, it is very easily cultivated: it should 
be preserved in the greenhouse in winter, 
where it takes very little ge and requires 
not much water.
