 Willd. This fpecies is remarkable for the whitenefs of all 

 its parts. Stem from twelve to fifteen inches high, llraight, 

 fimple, cottony. Leaves alternate, frequently with two 

 fmall auricles at the bafe of the pttiole. Flowers terminal,

 Jiem-havcs three inches ; petioles of the radical and lower 

 ilcm-leaves three inches long, fiat, embracing the n;em, 

 dilated upwards into the leaf. Corymb terminal, many-

Propagation and Cidlure. All the forts which are natives 

 of the Cape of Good Hope may be propagated during the 

 fnmmer months, by cuttings, which Ihould be laid to dry a 

 fortnight, that the wound may be healed over before they 

 are planted ; but if they have been kept fix months tl;ey will 

 take root. The pots in which they arc planted may be 

 plunsfed.in a moderatehot-hed; but if they arc planted in June 

 or July they will root as well in the open air. They fhould 

 have a light fandy earth, and in winter be placed in an airy 

 glafs-cafe, where they may enjoy the fun and air in mild 

 weather, but mull be protected from the froft. Like other 

 fncculent plants from the fame country, they mull have 

 little water in winter, and only a moderate quantity ia 

 fnmmer. 



The carnnfa increafes faft by its roots, which may be 

 parted either in the beginning of September or at the end 

 of March. They ftiould be planted in pots filled with light 

 earth, and conllantly kept in the tan-bed in the ftovc. 



The papillaris and anteuphorlium require a fandy poor foil, 

 and mult be kept very dry both fnmmer and winter ; but 

 they require the open air in fummer. The lleinia, if kept 

 in a dry warm glafs cafe in winter, and in a warm flultered 

 fituation in fnmmer, will flower annually, and grow to thp 

 height of eight or ten feet. 



The_/onf/j//b//(7 is propagated by feeds, which fuccecd befl 

 when iown in autumn loon after they are ripe, and the pot 

 plunged in the tan-bed in a ttove. Li fpring they may be 

 iown in a hot-bed, and at a proper time tranfplanted into 

 another hot bed, (hading them till they have taken root. 

 When the plants have- acquired ftrength they fhould be 

 planted in pots, and either plunged into a moderate hot- 

 bed under a deep frame, or placed in a glafs-cafe, where 

 they will flower and perfeft their feeds. The Jnaveolens and 

 atripncifolia mi.lti j'y greatly by their fpreadmg roots, and 

 alfo by their feecis, which are waited to a great diftance by 

 the wind. The roots Ihould be tranfplanted in autumn. 

 They require a loamy foil, and a fhady lituatien. See
