This is another beautiful little fpeciea of Cape Buchnera, and which, we can confider as little 

 better than biennial; much fimilar, to fome fpecies of different genera from thence ; fuch as, He- 

 benffreitia. Mahemia, &c. For although they produce woody ftems, yet the plants feldom laft be- 

 yond the fecond year. From their fliort duration, it is neceffary to keep up a f'uccellion yearly; 

 which is done, by making cuttings of them early in fpring. Our drawing represents the branch of a 

 plant, in the colleftion of R. James, Efq. Grofvenor-place, taken in the month of July 1799. It is 

 a very fhewy greenhoufe plant, and fhould be plotted in rich mould; if kept free from damp-,, will 

 continue to flower till the end of November.
