Tue figure annexed represents a new and very ornamental species of the genus Calendula, which 
we lately discovered flowering beautifully, amongst many other rare plants in the charming collection 
of exotics at George Hibbert’s, esq. Clapham ; where it was lately raised from seeds, sent to him, we 
believe, from the Cape of Good Hope, of which country we understand it is a native. 
It is a shrubby species, and possesses much of the growth and habit of Calendula dentata of our 
last number; and indeed in most things, except its considerable viscosity and the colour of its 
flowers, exhibits a very great similitude to that species ; and will be found to succeed with the same 
treatment and mode of propagation ; but is in every respect a much more desirable plant.
