<p><em>Buchnera</em> is a genus of plants established by Linn&aelig;us in honour of A. E. Buchner, a German naturalist.</p>

<p>Of this genus, nine species are enumerated in the 14th edition of the <em>Systema Vegetabilium</em>, by Professor Murray.</p>

<p>We learn from Mr. Aiton, that the present species (a native of the Cape) was introduced to the royal garden at Kew in 1774.</p>

<p>It cannot boast much beauty, yet as it occupies but little room, grows readily from cuttings, and flowers during most of the summer: it obtains a place in most greenhouses.</p>
