A native of the Cape of Good Hope, in- 

 troduced about 1793: it grows fast, and is 

 not very long lived : the flowering season 

 is from November to January. 



It requires the general management 

 recommended for the other greenhouse 

 heaths, being equally fond of fresh air at 

 all seasons. There is no difficulty in pro- 

 pagating it by cuttings. The soil should 

 be sandy peat.
