Gmel. p. 1238. Mill, Dili. ed. Mart. Of the many ornamental greenhoufe plants introduced by Mr. Masson, this is one of the moft defirable; as a fbewy plant, it has indeed few equals. Its ftem is herbaceous, riiing to the height of two, or even three feet, fumiflied with leaves which alfo are ornamental ; the fummits of the branches are covered with a profufion of purple flowers, fome of which begin to expand in January^ and are followed by others in fucceiCon through the whole of the Summer; by... candle-light they exhibit an extraordinary degree of brilliancy. The Cineraria cruenta is a native of the Canary Ifles, and was introduced to the royal Garden at Kew, by Mr. Masson» in .1777 : Monf. L'Heritier firft figured and defcribed it in his Sert. Anglic, giving it the name of cruenta^ as we fuppofe^ from the red colour which enlivens the under fide of the leaves* • It is propagated by parting its roots, and during Summer requires a greater degree of moifture than many oiher plants. Its feeds ufually prove abortive.
