fusion in most of the spring, and sometimes 
even in the winter months. Like every 
other of this extensive genus, it is a native 
of the Cape of Good Hope, and was first 
brought to England about the year 1789. 
It has, however, not yet become plentiful ; 
being difficult to multiply by cuttings, and 
rarely perfecting seeds here. The leaves 
have a very powerful, and to some persons 
an unpleasant smell, but the flowers are 
inodorous. The plant is not by any means 
tender ; it needs only protection from frost, 
in a well-aired greenhouse, during the win- 
ter season. The soil should be loam and 
peat.
