No. 664. 
BURCHELLIA CAPENSIS. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA, 
This was introduced a few years since 
from the Cape of Good Hope, and has 
been named by Mr. Brown, in honour of 
the celebrated Mr. Burchell, whose in- 
teresting account of his travels in the 
interior of Africa has lately been laid be- 
fore the public. 
It is a vigorous-growing small tree, and 
blooms freely in the spring with us: the 
flowers are very beautiful, which, together 
with the rich green of the foliage, render 
it a desirable plant. It seems to thrive best 
in the stove, although it will live in the 
greenhouse pretty well. There is a variety 
a plentiful supply of water.
