John Sims, Curtis's Botanical Magazine, Volume XV…
“ Cuff, of Teddington, a gentleman of great zeal and assiduity in cultivating plants and promoting the science of Botany, to whose liberality the Brompton Botanic Garden is indebted for this and many other scarce and beautiful plants. It succeeds well in the greenhouse, begins flowering about the month of May, and continues in blossom during the greatest part of the summer. Is readily increased by parting its roots in the spring and should be planted in pots filled with loam and peat earth. ”
