It is a very handsome stove shrub, with long pendulous 
fragrant flowers, changing from white to crimson through 
pink ; and must be regarded as quite an acquisition to the 
collections of plants requiring high temperature. 
It is a native of Cuba, whence Messrs. Loddiges imported 
it, and with whom it flowered in August, 1840. 
Fig. 1. shews the stigma, and 2. a transverse section of the 
ovary. 
It is propagated by either cuttings or layers, and likes 
such a soil as loam, peat, leaf-mould, and sand.
