In the year 1/9-1, this fine plant was railed by Meffrs. Lee and Kennedy, from feedsreceived by them from the Cape of Good Hope, where it is native. It is one of the very hardieftinhabitants of the gfeenhoufe, and is propagated, eiiher from the feed, which ripens with us; or bythe offsets made from the root. The plant is perfittent, but does not acquire a ftem; the leavesgrowing to the length of from two, to three feet, the flower-ftem fometimes to the height of four feet;which was nearly that of the plant in the Collection of G.
