Thb only figure of this syngenesious plant is in the new and rare plants of Ortega, who named i 

 D. Didaco Pascal, a Spanish physician. It is the only species of the genus yet known, and a fine 

 specimen ot it was communicated to us by Mr. Lambert, who raised it from seed sent to him 

 Madrid by the late Cavanilles. It is perfectly hardy, and the roots so durable and spreading tba 

 are not easily eradicated. It does not however bloom with equal facility, but seems to want a * 

 sun to aid its flowers in their expansion.
