as obtuse, not acuminate: it being the nature of this plant 
to vary in the form of the leaves, of which we were not aware, 
when the species was first named. 
The accompanying figure was made in November last, in 
the nursery of Mr. Glendinning, of Turnham Green, from 
whom we have the following memorandum of its habits, and 
of the cultivation it requires. 
* When Stephanotis floribunda made its appearance it 
was generally considered, and justly, the finest twining plant 
in cultivation. The present subject is not inferior to it under 
good culture. The flowers are rather larger, and quite as 
fragrant; they are likewise produced in great profusion. 
The plant which was exhibited by me before the Horticul- 
tural Society last autumn, and awarded a Banksian medal, 
remained in bloom quite four months; thus rendering it a 
most useful and desirable plant at a season peculiarly distin- 
guished by paucity of flower. 
‘I have found the following treatment in its cultivation 
suitable to it. When the flowers begin to fade, it should be 
allowed quietly to go into a state of repose, when it will 
almost become deciduous. Early in March it should be 
shaken out of the pot, the soil cleared entirely away from the 
roots, and repotted in rough peaty soil with a little turfy loam, 
adding a small portion of sand ; these should be intermixed. 
Select pots of rather large dimensions, as it delights in root- 
room ; well drain the pots, and spread the roots out amongst 
the soil when potting it. Settle the whole down with a good 
watering. Then place it in a close stove or pit, in a tempe- 
rature of 75°; and if plunged in bottom heat, success will 
be more rapid and certain. Few plants will more satisfac- 
torily repay the trouble and attention thus bestowed upon it; 
and if trained in the same manner as Stephanotis, it will 
begin to bloom freely about the end of August.”
