The fame, fplit open, to expofc the fituation of the feeds. This pretty Cytifus, a native of the Cape of Good Hope, was railed from feeds at the Ilammerfmithnurfery, in the year 179^. It is rather a weak, and loofe growing fhrub, attaining the height of afoot and a half, and flowering about Auguft. It delights in a light foil, and is propagated with cafeby cuttings; it likewife perfects its feeds. The whole habit of the plant much more referable* Croto-laria than Cytifus; but the feed-veffel and empalement preclude its adniiffion to that Genus. fJY Text Appearing After Image: (>/f//f/fj /< //,■///j.> PLATE CCXXXVIII.
