Native of the Cape of Good Hope; from whence it was 
brought into our gardens by Mr. Masson in 1790. Seems to 
_ be intermediate between arachnoides and retufa ; by fome it may 
be fufpeé&ted to be a mere variety of the latter, or a mule of 
the two fpecies.s We are indebted to Mr. Haworra for 
__ the fpecimen. Should be kept in the common greenhoufe ; 
_ Fequires no particular care. The foliage is of a darker green 
~ than that of retufa. G.
