The Angular merit of this pretty greenhoufe plant, is, that its bloflbms are ftill to be feen through 

 the whole year; and is kept with as little care, as is required for any. It is with eafe, and certainty, 

 increafed by cuttings, put in about the month of May; or by feeds, which it fometimes perfects by 

 being kept from the rain in autumn. It is a plant known by name, to moll botanirts; but has not 

 been introduced to us, till the year 1/9-1, when it was received in feeds from the Cape, at the nur- 

 fery Hammerfmith ; where it has flowered, thefe two fucceflive years, aud w r here our figure was 

 taken.
