slender forms inhabiting the lower levels. On the banks 
of the river Soane in Bengal I have seen it clothing small 
trees with a beautiful web of golden cords studded with 
white sweet-scented flowers. 
C. reflewa is very easily cultivated. Sweet points out 
that the more juicy the plant is to which it attaches itself, 
the stronger it grows, and says that the strong-growing 
species of Pelargonium suit it admirably. He adds that a 
' plant raised in spring began flowering in September, and 
soon became entirely covered with flowers of a most 
delightful fragrance, somewhat resembling a mixture of 
_cowslips and violets; and that a plant which had taken 
hold of the ivy by Mr. Colvill’s shop soon covered a great 
part of it, where it continued in flower till the very severe 
frosts, and ripened its seeds. 
I am indebted for the specimen figured here to Mr. 
Lynch, of the Cambridge Botanical Gardens, whose success 
has been identical with that. of his predecessor sixty years 
ago. He finds it to flourish on Pelargoniums, and in 
contact with a bed of tree-ivies, it formed a mass twenty- 
three feet long and twelve broad, which was all killed by 
six degrees of frost.
