Lavender-Leaved Hermannia. _Class and Order._ Monadelphia Pentandria. _Generic Character._ Pentagyna. _Caps._ 5-locularis. _Petala_ basi semitubulata, obliqua. _Specific Character and Synonyms._ HERMANNIA _lavendulifolia_ foliis lanceolatis obtusis integerrimis. _Linn. Syst. Vegetab. ed. 14._ _Murr. p. 611._ _Ait. Kew. v. 2. p. 413._ HERMANNIA frutescens folio Lavendulae latiore et obtuso flore parvo aureo Boerh. _Dill. Hort. Elth. t. 147._ [Illustration: N^o. 304] The _Hermannia_ here figured is a plant of humble growth, forming a small bushy shrub, a foot or a foot and a half in height, and producing numerous flowers thinly scattered over the branches, the greatest part of the summer; it is this disposition which it has of flowering so freely, that renders it a desirable plant for the greenhouse, in which it is commonly kept, and of which it is an old inhabitant. Dillenius has figured it in his admirable work the _Hortus Elthamensis_, published in 1732; hence we learn that it was cultivated in Mr. Sherard's celebrated garden at Eltham prior to that date. It is a native of the Cape, and is readily increased by cuttings. [305] Amaryllis Equestris.
