The plant which has afforded our drawing was received 
by Mr. Griffin from a garden in Jamaica, without notice of 
its being or not being indigenous of that Island. Were 
it native of those parts, we should have had no hesitation in 
deeming it distinct from the Cape species, under the name 
of which it is here published. It differs in having a firmer 
more upright and in no way glaucous foliage, a full third 
longer flowers, and a bright green furrowless germen.
