RIGID-LEAVED GORTERIA. 
Lat : Gorteria Rigens. 
Cl: SYNGENESIA. 
Ord: POLY GAMI A FRUTRANEA. 
The Gorteria is a native of the Cape; the 
brilliancy of its blossom renders it a great 
acquisition to the Green-house. 
It flowers in May, June, and July ; is propa- 
gated by cuttings in the summer, which should 
be planted in a Hot-bed.
