‘ It will doubtless prove to be very useful, in consequence 
of its being a free flowerer, and of a dwarf habit.” 
Our drawing was made in the Garden of the Society in 
March last. The flowers were produced upon young cuttings, 
and were by no means so brilliant as they will become in the 
hands of our great Azalea growers. 
This species may be said to require exactly the same 
treatment as A. Danielsiana. The soil should be exclusively 
rough sandy peat. Although it would appear from the soil 
about the roots of this plant, when imported, that it naturally 
grew in loam, yet under pot culture, sandy peat has been 
found more suitable. 
To flower the species well, its wood must be properly 
matured. An abundance of light is always necessary, and 
air at all times, when the weather will allow it, especially in 
autumn, when the young wood begins to harden, for at this 
time flower-buds are formed. In winter, fire heat should 
only be applied to keep off frost. It may either be multiplied 
by grafting, or by cuttings of half ripe wood under ordinary 
circumstances.
