Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope: it has been cultivated in England 
ever since 1759, but has never been plen- 
ti It flowers in the spring, and its rich 
feathery branches are very beautiful: it 
may be increased either by seeds, (which 
must be obtained from its native country, 
as it produces none here,) or by layers, 
small pots and sandy peat earth, keeping 
them in a greenhouse in the winter, with 
abundance of air and not too much water.
