No, 890. 
GNIDIA IMBRICATA. 
Classe Order, 
OCTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
Native of the Cape of Good Hope, from 
whence it has lately been introduced: it is 
a rapid, but weakly growing plant, and 
probably not very long lived: the flowers, 
as well as leaves and branches, are villose. 
The young shoots, which are somewhat 
pendulous, produce flowers in fours at their 
ends : their season is in May and June. It 
must be kept in the greenhouse, and may 
be increased by cuttings. The soil should 
be sandy loam, with a sparing supply of 
water.
