Cult. Jacaranda is a genus composed of elegant trees, having 
much the habit of the fine-leaved Acacias ; bearing large, usu- 
ally terminal panicles of showy blue, or violaceous flowers, and 
on that account are worth cultivating in every collection of 
stove plants. "They grow freely in a mixture of loam, peat, and 
sand, or any light rich soil; and cuttings, half ripened, strike 
root readily, if planted in sand, with a hand-glass placed over 
them; but the leaves of these cuttings should not be shortened, 
or cut in any way. If the trees are kept dry in winter, it will 
check their growth, and throw them into flower.
