Cult. Should either of the species of Eudóxia ever be intro- 
duced to our gardens, we would recommend their being grown 
in pots, in a mixture of peat and sand, with the addition of a 
little loam; and in winter to be placed ona shelf in a green- 
house or frame until their hardiness be ascertained.
