raised from Cape seeds with scarcely any variation in 
them. We believe it has been generally considered as 
a variety of P. glutinosum, but it certainly differs more 
from that than that does from P. quercifolium : both 
the habit of the plant, and the form of the leaves and 
flowers, are altogether totally dissimilar; the whole 
plant is covered with a shining viscous substance which 
sticks to the fingers on the slightest touch. It is a tall 
strong-growing plant and very hardy, requiring only a 
common greenhouse or warm room to protect it in 
winter. A mixture of turfy loam and peat suits it very 
well, or any light vegetable mould, and cuttings strike 
root freely if planted in pots and placed in a sheltered 
situation. 
Our drawing was taken at the Nursery of Messrs. 
Colvill, from a plant that was raised from seed that 
had been received from the Cape.
