‘ult. None of the species of Uréna are worth cultivating 
unless in botanic gardens, except U. speciosa. They are plants 
of easy culture, will thrive best in a mixture of loam and peat, ` 
and cuttings will root readily if planted inthe same kind of soil, 
under a hand-glass, but this in most cases will be unnecessary, 
as most of the species ripen seed in plenty.
