in many cases are not fully developed. It is a curious fact 
that two plants—one in the garden of the Horticultural 
Society, and the other in the collection of George Barker, 
Esq., of Birmingham—threw up flower stems, which instead 
of producing flowers formed leaves; and this was probably 
owing to over excitement, for, another plant which was gene- 
rally kept at the coolest end of the stove was always healthy, 
and perfected flowers in abundance. It may either be potted 
or suspended upon wood from the rafters of the stove, where 
1t does not require so much water as the free-growing species, 
but it may be frequently syringed in the growing season with - 
good effect.
