properties ; and from the fruit a highly narcotic liquor is pre- 
pared. Corolla 7 inches long, pubescent, with 15 straight, pro-

Two-coloured-flowered Brugmansia. Fl. June, Oct. 
1833. Shrub 8 to 12 feet. 
Cult. All the species of Brugmánsia are free flowerers, and 
are desirable plants for conservatories, on account of their fine 
foliage, and large, trumpet-shaped, white, orange, or scarlet pen- 
dant blossoms. "They grow best in a light, rich soil, and should 
not have much water given to them during winter, as they are 
liable to damp. They also succeed well in the open ground 
during summer in a warm, sheltered situation ; here they grow 
luxuriantly, and flower freely, and the blossoms become larger, 
and of a finer colour, than if grown under glass, but here they 
are killed by the first frosts of winter if not protected. All the 
species strike readily from cuttings if placed in a moist heat.
