Herbarium, are in fruit; and we also possess wild specimens 
from Mr. Whitfield, by whom it was introduced in a living 
state. We are indebted to Mr. Glendinning, in whose 
nursery it is cultivated, for the following memorandum :— 
* Amongst the numerous plants of climbing habit which 
adorn our stoves, Henfreya scandens is assuredly a subject 
deserving our notice. Under the most liberal, and satisfac- 
tory cultivation, it never ranges beyond proper limits. Its 
foliage is not subject to injury, being also dark green, 
coriaceous, and permanent, contrasting admirably with the 
delicate Petunia-like flowers, which are produced in the 
utmost abundance, in racemes, at the angle of every leaf, 
continuing to throw out a succession of bloom for several 
months. Its cultivation is not by any means difficult. The fol- 
lowing treatment has enabled me to flower it with certainty and 
success. After it has ceased to produce flowers in the spring, 
or beginning of summer, it should be divested of the greater 
part of the old soil, and repotted in fresh turfy peat and loam, 
in equal portions, intermixed with a small portion of silver 
sand. ‘The pot should be rather small in proportion to the 
size of the plant; plunge it in bottom heat, where a humid 
glowing temperature, perfectly sweet, of 75° or 80° is kept up 
during night, and partially shaded during bright sunlight. 
When roots have been plentifully produced, give it a final 
shift, using rough material as before described ; a few round 
stakes will answer for its support, and to which the shoots 
must be tied as they grow ; by autumn it will have done its 
work, and may then be brought into flower at any time from 
February to May, by placing it ina higher temperature as 
may be required."
