TRIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Few plants are more pleasing in the 
colour, or more lasting in the duration of 
their blossoms than our present subject, 
especially when it has attained a pretty 
good size, which it does in four or five 
heads of flowers open. It was introduced 
about the year 1803 by Mr. Hibbert, from 
the Cape of Good Hope, of which it is a 
native. 
It is increased with difficulty by cuttings 
or off-sets, which may be now and then 
obtained: the soil in which we have found 
it to floufish most advantageously is sandy 
eat, and it may safely be treated as a 
hardy greenhouse plant.
