No. 642. 
LIPARIA SPHAERICA. 
Class. Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This magnificent plant is a native of the 
Cape of Good Hope: we raised it about 
the year 1800 from seeds which were col- 
lected by Mr. Scholl. It is the largest of 
the genus, growing sometimes to six or eight 
feet in height, and producing its blossoms 
in the months of April or May. 
It flourishes most when planted in the 
full ground in a conservatory, but may be 
kept very well in a pot: the soil should be 
peat, with a little light loam mixed. It 
may be propagated by layers or cuttings 
with some difficulty
