We had the pleasure of raising this pretty 
species in 1792, from seeds which were col- 
lected at the Cape by our worthy friend 
GeorgeScholl. The plants flowered by the 
time they were sixteen months old, yet they 
are not particularly short lived. The flowers 
are very durable; they begin in the latter 
saan months in pei 
care, and 
may be propagated by euttings. "The soil 
should be sandy peat, and as it is a dwarf 
kind, the pots need not be very large.
