HEXANDRIA 8 
INM. 2 hath T t 4 as Zoch a 1 
about the year 1800, from the Cape of 
Good Hope. Its season for flowering with 
us is in the autumn, when it lasts a long 
time, and forms a pleasing variety: it takes 
but little room, and helps to enliven the 
greenhouse at the period when the greater 
part of the plants have done flowering. 
It is of easy culture, requiring a rich 
loam, with a little dy peat, and should 
be re-potted every two years or oftener. 
It increases itself by offsets, which are 
sometimes produced in considerable abun- 
dance.
