Cult. The species of this genus are all stove plants. They 
require a loamy soil or a mixture of loam and peat. Ripe 
cuttings strike well in sand, under a hand-glass, placed in a mo- 
derate heat. The seeds, when procured from their native places 
of growth, should be sown immediately in pots, filled with a mix- 
ture of loam, peat, and sand, and then plunged into a hot-bed, 
but as they soon become rancid, it is doubtful whether they will 
remain good during a voyage.
