Cult. Gompholbhiurn is a genus of most elegant plants : its 

 species thrive well in an equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand, 

 but care must be taken not to give them too much water, as 

 they are extremely tenacious of moisture, and difficult to pre- 

 serve in a living state. Young cuttings will root freely if planted 



adult state they are usually leafless ; branches usually angular, 

 and with the branchlets branched, very like leaves in form. 

 Flowers of all yellow.
