This is a native of Jamaica, found on 

 the summits of mountains, as we are in- 

 formed by Swartz, who describes it as 

 growing to the height of a fathom. 



We raised it from seeds, with which we 

 were favoured by Mr. R. Smith, in 1826. 

 It came into bloom in July 1832. The 

 flowers are exceedingly delicate ; they grow 

 in small bunches, near the ends of the 

 shoots. 



It succeeds very well in the greenhouse, 

 and should be potted in peat earth.
