Cult. These singular shrubs, none of which have as yet been 
introduced into our gardens, will perhaps grow freely in a mix- 
ture of sand and peat ; and ripened cuttings will probably strike 
root, if planted in a pot of sand with a bell-glass placed over 
them, without heat.

Cult. An equal mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best 
soil for the plants belonging to this genus, but care must. be 
taken not to over water them; they delight in an airy situation, 
and not to be crowded among other plants. Cuttings will strike 
root freely in a pot of sand, with a bell-glass placed over them, 
without heat.
