The figure annexed represents a new and very ornamental species of the
genus Calendula, which we lately discovered flowering beautifully,
amongst many other rare plants in the charming collection of exotics at
George Hibbert’s, esq. Clapham; where it was lately raised from seeds,
sent to him, we believe, from the Cape of Good Hope, of which country
we understand it is a native.
It is a shrubby species, and possesses much of the growth and habit of
Calendula dentata of our last number; and indeed in most things, except
its considerable viscosity and the colour of its flowers, exhibits a
very great similitude to that species; and will be found to succeed
with the same treatment and mode of propagation; but is in every
respect a much more desirable plant.
