POLYGALA HUMILIS. 
Class, Order: 
DIADELPHIA OCTANDRIA. 
This is from the Cape of Good Hope: we 
raised it from seed in the year 1817, and at 
the age of three years it flowered in abun- 
dance in May. It is a low plant, not 
much exceeding five or six inches from the 
ground, but having many branches. The 
blossoms open when the sun shines upon 
them, closing again as soon as they are 
deprived of its influence. 
It may be increased by Sr and 
should have the usual of Ca 
plants, in the greenhouse. The soil should 
be sandy peat, and the plant must not have 
too much water.
