POLYGALA STIPULACEA. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA OCTANDRIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope: it 
was introduced in 1791. It is a small slen- 
der shrub, having many thin and irregular 
branches : the flowers are produced in suc- 
cession for many months, more particularly 
during the winter and spring: altho 
small, they are exceedingly lively, and of 
such a bright and beautiful purple as baffles 
all imitation by art. 
It is necessary to preserve it in an airy 
greenhouse during the winter: by cuttings 
it may be increased, and should be potted 
in sandy peat earth.
