I have a specimen of this plant, gathered at Kew, about 

 seven or eight years ago, and which I then, like Mr. Aiton,

The plants from the Cape of Good Hope, hitherto referred 

 to Melanthium, differ so exceedingly from that genus, that I 

 place them even in a separate order. This is quite hardy, 

 and will thrive much better in the open ground under a
