No. 1043. 
MESEMBRYANTHEMUM GLOMERATUM. 
Class. à Order. 
ICOSANDRIA PENTAGYNIA. 
A native of the Cape of Good Hope, 
which may be considered as the birth-place 
of nearly the whole of this vast genus. The 
species now before us was cultivated in 
1732, in the Eltham garden, as appears 
from Dillenius. It flowers in profusion in 
June and July, opening daily to the fore- 
noon sun, when it is eminently beautiful. 
It is easily increased by euttings, which 
should be planted in sandy loam: during, 
the winter season it should be kept in the 
greenhouse, with a sparing supply of water.
