T H I S is another beautiful little fpecies of Cape Buchnera, and which, we can confider as little
better than biennial; much fimilar^ to fome fpecies of different genera from thence; fuch as, He»
benftreitia, Mahernia, &c. For although they produce woody ftems, yet the plants feldom laft beyond
the fécond year. From their fliort duration, it is neceifary to keep up a fucceifion yearly;
which is done, by making cuttings of them early in fpring. Our drawing reprefents the branch of a
plant, in the colleftion of R. James, Efq. Grofvenor-place, taken in the month of July lygg. It is
a very fliewy greenhoufe plant, and lliould be plotted in rich mould ; if kept free from damps, will
continue to flower till the end of November.
