from G. tenue in its short petioles, and subracemose dark 
flowers ; and from G. sparsum in the leaflets not being at all 
veiny, and all equal sized. 
This species strikes readily from cuttings, either in 
autumn or in spring, if they are put into a pot of sand and 
covered with a bell-glass. The soil most congenial to its 
growth is peat and sand, with about one-fourth of good loam. 
When the plant is young its top should be taken off, it will 
then send out several lateral shoots, and by topping some of 
these, it will soon form a handsome bush. It is as easily 
cultivated as the more common G. polymorphum. Of course 
it requires the protection of the greenhouse.
