Cult* The species of Raphiolepis grow freely in a mixture of 

 loam, peat, and sand. Ripened cuttings strike root readily if 

 planted in sand, with a hand-glass placed over them. Some of 

 the species stand our winters very well against a south wall, in 

 the open air, when covered by mats in severe weather.
