The fpecies of this genus, twenty-two in Willdenow, are 

 confined to the Cape of Good Hope and its neighbourhood. 

 Four of them occur under this name in Hort. Kew. as 

 green-houfe plants, flowering in fumm.er ; three others com- 

 pofe Mr. Brown's genus Cullu.mia, to be defcribed here- 

 after. They are generally perennial, often fhrubby. They 

 embrace Thunberg's whole genus of Rohria, (fee another 

 genus of that name in its proper place,) and feveral of them 

 have been referred by Linnseus to Gorteria, AtraSylis, or 

 eren Xenmiheritum. None has yet appeared in any of our 

 Englifh periodical works. We feleft a few examples.
