Professor R. Bradley is reported to have 
introduced this plant in 1714 from the Cape 
of Good Hope, of which it isa native. It 
grows to two or three feethigh, and flowers 
in rich profusion through the summer 
months. It must be protected from frost 
in the greenhouse, and being of a suceulent 
consistence, needs but little water in winter. 
By cuttings it is readily propagated, and 
should be planted in sandy loam. 
The sparkling magnificence of its blos- 
soms must surely fill the beholder with de- 
light, and ought to elevate the mind to the 
source of so much beauty.
