Drawing and description from Mr. Stackhouse, who attended the progress 
of the growth in two of these plants, which sprang up in a pot containing 
an orange tree, in a window of a parlour in Bath. June 1792. 
I have since met with the same plant, growing in the soil in an unfinished 
house in Birmingham. A parlour floor had been loosely laid with oak 
planks the preceding year, and on taking them up this plant made its 
appearance. July.
