Soft-leaved Galphimia. Shrub cl. 
Cult, The species of Galphimia are rather handsome shrubs. 
they will thrive well in a mixture of loam and peat, and ripened 
futtings will strike root in sand under a hand-glass, in heat.

—Rheed. mal. 6. t. 59. This is a 
large, woody, climbing shrub, 
flowering in its native country in 
the wet and cold season. It is 
cultivated all over the coast of 
Coromandel on account of the beauty and fragrance of its blos- 
soms, each of which is composed of five petals, one of them yel- 
low, the rest white. Madablota is its name in some parts of the 
East Indies. `

Obiuse-leaved Hiptage. Clt. 1810. Shrub cl. 
Cult. Hiptáge is a genus of beautiful climbing shrubs ; they 
are therefore very desirable for a stove-conservatory, where they 
can be trained upon the rafters. A mixture of loam and peat 
will suit them best, and cuttings will strike root in sand under a 
hand-glass, in heat.
