We raised this from seeds received from 
the Cape of Good Hope in 1818. The 
flowers are extremely delicate and beauti- 
ful: they appeared with us in the month of 
May, and in different plants were continued 
in succession throughout the greater part 
of the summer. The plant grows about 
two feet high; its branches are well clothed 
with foliage. There are two curious reni- 
form stipules at the base of each leaf, 
We have hitherto preserved our plants in 
the stove; but it is probable that they may 
succeed in the greenhouse. They should 
be potted in loam and peat, and may be in- 
creased by cuttings.
