Racemed Cyphia. Pl. 1 foot.? : gi 
Cult. The species of this genus thrive well in an equal apes 
ture of loam, peat, and sand ; and cuttings of them root rea uly 
under a hand-glass. Some of the species have large tuberon 
roots; these must be kept quite dry when not in a growing sta d 
or they will rot. These tuberous-rooted kinds may be oe 
just as the stems begin to push out from the root, by cutting aI 
as many of the shoots as are wanted, and planting them ın aor g 
pot, in the same kind of soil recommended for the species; E 
ing them dry till the wound has healed, but never epret e Ae 
with glass; they will soon form tubers of themselves, an 
old plant will make fresh shoots.
