No. 1020. 
PODALYRIA BUXIFOLIA. 
Class. Order. 
DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A handsome upright shrub, lately intro- 
duced from the Cape of Good Hope, and 
growing to the height of five or six feet. 
It flowers near the upper part of the shoots, 
which seldom have more than one flower 
on each. It requires the protection of the 
greenhouse, and does very well planted in 
the full ground of a conservatory. It isin- 
creased with difficulty by cuttings, for seeds 
are not produced here, and but rarely ob- 
tained from its native places. The soil 
should be loam and peat.
