 October to the end of the year. 



C. Massoni, Masson's Virgin's-bower, a climbing shrub 

 introduced by Mr. Masson from the Cape. 



These climbers are all rapid growers, and will soon over- 

 run a green-house if not kept under by the knife, or, what 

 is better, confining their roots to pots. They grow in sandy 

 loam or indeed in any soil, and propagate freely by cuttings 

 under a glass cover. 



Knowlto^nia ngida, thick-leaved Knowltonia, a pe- 

 rennial herbaceous plant, introduced from the Cape of Good 

 Hope in 1780, and flowering in March and May. 



K. vesicatdria, blistering Knowltonia, B. M. 775, a pe- 

 rennial introduced from the Cape in 1691, and which 

 flowers in February and April. 



These are plants of no beauty, but free growlers in loam 

 and leaf-mould, and they are propagated like other herba- 

 ceous plants by dividing the root. They also ripen seeds.
