upper ones, of a paler colour. Filaments 10, united

The present plant, though far from common in our 
collections, has been introduced to this country from 
the Cape ever since the year 1789. It is a very hardy 
sort and a free flowerer ; but its flowers, though pretty, 
are not so much esteemed, since so many more beauti- 
ful kinds have been raised from seeds. It is also of a 
straggling habit, requiring to be frequently cut back 
to keep it within bounds. It thrives well in a mixture 
of light turfy loam and peat, or any light vegetable 
soil ; and cuttings soon strike root, if planted in the 
same kind of mould, and placed in a sheltered situ- 
ation. 
Drawn at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, the latter 
part of last summer.
