After Striving for more than twenty years 

 in vain to obtain it, we received this elegant 

 plant in June J 829 from our valuable 

 friend Mr, Reeves, at Canton. It was pre- 



was 



served during winter in the greenhouse, 

 and in the month of August following pro- 

 duced its flowers, from which our drawing 



taken. The flowers are entirely 

 clothed with a kind of fine down, too mi- 

 nute for representation. 



It may be increased by cuttings, and 

 should be potted in loam and peat soil.
