原生地・分布（英語）:

説明（英語）: Genus of 6 species of evergreen shrubs from grassland in hilly areas of southern Africa. The alternate, pinnate, light green, grey-green, or blue-green leaves have prominent stipules. Small flowers, producing profuse quantities of nectar, are borne in erect, terminal and axillary racemes; each has 5 irregular sepals and petals, the upper ones often forming a hood or tube, and the lower ones making a short spur. Grow in a border or as specimen plants; they are particularly suited to a coastal garden. In frost-prone areas, grow tender species as foliage plants in a cold greenhouse, and stand or plant outside in summer. Alternatively, treat them as herbaceous perennials; where temperatures do not fall much below -5°C (23°F), they will usually re-sprout annually from the base.

耐寒性（英語）: Frost hardy to frost tender; M. major may survive temperatures just below 0°C (32°F), if the wood has been well ripened in summer.

栽培（英語）:

繁殖（英語）: Sow seed at 13-18°C (55-64°F) in spring. Root basal or soft-wood cuttings in late spring or early summer. Remove any rooted suckers in spring.

病害虫（英語）: Susceptible to red spider mites and whiteflies under glass.
