It differs in nothing from the wild specimens in onr pos- 
session, except that the flowers are less numerous in the axils, 
and therefore do not present an appearance to justify the name 
of capitate so much as they do. 
Fig. 1. represents the ovary, with the side removed to 
shew the three pairs of ovules. 
It should be potted in light heath soil, mixed with a little 
leaf-mould and sand ; the pot must be efficiently drained. 
When grown in the greenhouse, and subject to the same 
treatment as the generality of these plants, it succeeds admi- 
rablv, and remains in bloom for several months in summer 
and autumn. Like all plants of this kind, it requires an 
abundant supply of water during the growing season ; but 
that quantity must be reduced at other times. It is easily 
multiplied by cuttings and seeds.
