Class Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This plant is from the Cape of Good 
Hope, whence it was first brought to this 
country about the year 1774. It trails on 
the ground, and seldom exceeds six inches 
in height, unless supported, by which means 
siti abundantly in the beginning of 
summer, and last a good while: occasion- 
ally perfect seeds are obtained, by which, or 
by cuttings, the plant is easily multiplied. 
The green-house protection is necessary for 
it in the winter: its soil should be loam, 
with a small admixture of peat earth.
