Cult. All the species of this genus bear ornamental blossoms, 
and are therefore worth cultivating in every collection of green- 
house plants. A mixture of loam, sand, and peat is the best 
soil for them; and they will be easily increased by. cuttings 
planted in the same kind of soil, under a hand-glass, in a little 
bottom heat.
