PODALYRIA STYRACIFOLIA. 
eas Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope: it 
has been long cultivated in this country, and 
grows with us to five or six feet in height, 
flowering in the spring. The flowers are 
delicately fragrant, eocuiting the odour of 
the sweet pea 
It is a very good subject for planting in 
the ground of a conservatory, as it keeps 
its leaves well, and is at all seasons an orna- 
mental plant. 
It may be increased by layers or seeds, 
which are sometimes brought home from 
the Cape: the soil should be loam and peat, 
and it requires merely protection from frost.
