No. 852. 
STAAVIA GLUTINOSA. 
Class, Order, 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope, grow- 
ing in abundance, according to Thunberg, 
on the Table mountain, where it attains the 
height of three feet. The flowers are 
clammy, whence its name: they come forth 
in winter and spring, and the plant is not 
inelegant. It may be propagated by cut- 
tings or seeds, which must be obtai 
from its native country, as it does not 
produce them here. It must be pre- 
served in an airy greenhouse, and care should 
be taken to have the pot well drained, and 
also to water it moderately, especially in 
hot weather, it being then very apt to die, 
if over watered.
