when properly cultivated. The shoot shouldbe stopped to prevent it becoming tall, by which means the plant is made togrow bushy, otherwise it will only be one-stemmed. It should be potted in loam, peat, and sand. It does not appear to strike readily from cuttings, and therefore care shouldbe taken to impregnate the blossoms to ensure the formation of seeds, whichreadily vegetate. Although introduced in 1786, it is a very rare plant even ingood collections. It flowers in June and July. It is a native of the Cape of Good Hope ; but the plant in the collection ofthe Birmingham Botanical and Horticultural Society (from which our drawingwas taken) was raised from seeds received amongst many others from NewHolland.

The specific name triflora, alludes to the circumstance of theflowers being arranged in threes in the axils of the leaf. Fig. 1, standard ; 2, keel; 3, wing ; 4, germ, stamens, and style.
