This plant from New Holland, is rather more delicate than moft of thofe we poflefs from that country,as it is apt to lofe its leaves if expofed either to damps, or much cold. It was first raifed in the year1790, by the late Mr. Robertfon, of Stockwell; is eafily propagated by cuttings, and flowers inJanuary, or February. The other fpecies figured in this work, Plate 212, and our prefent plant, arethe only two yet known of this genus. They require a very light fandy loam, or peat foil, to makethem flouriih.
