should be excluded from the order altogether, from the leaves 
being alternate, and crowded into fascicles ; in the want of sti- 
pulas; in the flowers rising from the same bud as the fascicles of 
leaves; in the tube of the corolla being funnel-shaped, and in 
the stamens being inserted in the receptacle. 
Cult. Most of the species of this genus are truly beautiful 
when in blossom, and are therefore worth cultivating in every 
collection. They require to be kept in a moist heat, but the 
pots should never be plunged in tan. A mixture of turfy loam, 
turfy peat, and sand in equal portions, is the best soil for them ; 
and cuttings strike root readily if planted in sand or even mould, 
placed in heat, with a hand-glass over them.
