We were favoured with this plant from 
our worthy friend Mr. Shepherd, of Liver- 
pool, who received it from Sicily, of which 
island it is a native, as well as of Italy and 
Barbary, and has also been found in France, 
Switzerland, and Carniola. 
With us it was about nine inches high 
when it flowered, which was in the month 
of May. 
It grows pretty well in a pot in a mixture 
of sand and decayed vegetable matter, and 
requires only slight protection from frost in 
a frame.
