Cochinchina Box-Thorn. Shrub 4 to 6 feet. 
Cult. The hardy kinds of Box-Thorn are well fitted for 
arbours, or to be trained against trellis-work or walls. The 
L. A'frum, and some of the Cape species belonging to the same 
section, are very handsome while in flower ; and they will thrive 
and flower if trained against a wall, with a south or west aspect. 
They are all readily increased by ripened cuttings, under a 
hand-glass in sand. The stove and greenhouse species should 
be treated like other stove and greenhouse shrubs.
