PHCENOCOMA PROLIFERA. 

 Class, Syngenesia. Order, Superflua 



Composite. 



Native of Cape of Good Hope, 1789. — Propa- 

 gation, cuttings. 



A charming plant, well worthy of every col- 

 lector's attention, on account of the beauty both 

 of its foliage and flower. It thrives well in peat 

 with a little cally sand ; it should be kept in the 

 greenhouse all the year. Repot the plant in March ; 

 remove a little of the old soil, and if it be in a 

 flourishing condition, shift it into the next sized 

 pot.

This is a finely scented plant. It requires to be 

 potted in March in two parts loam, one part leaf 

 mould, with a little rough sand, and placed in the 

 flower-house, where it must remain until it is about 

 one foot in height, when remove it into the green- 

 house, place it in the warmest part, near to the 

 glass. It should have a good supply of water 

 when in a vigorous growing state.
