SELAGO SPURIA. 
Class, Order. 
DIDYNAMIA GYMNOSPERMIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope, whence it was introduced in 1779: 
by some it is called biennial, but we be- 
lieve it to be shrubby, although not very 
long lived, which is the case with the other 
Selago's. 
Its blossoms appear toward the end of 
the summer, and last in succession for 
several months, making a pretty appearance. 
The plant requires the usual greenhouse 
treatment in the winter; it is readily in- 
creased by cuttings, and its soil should be 
sandy loam, with a very moderate supply 
of water.
