tube of the corolla; its thickened bifid stigma a little exserted.

Cutt. This, like the majority of the genus, is a showy species. 
Being a native of Java, it requires to be cultivated in a warm 
and moist stove; and this is not only necessary in order to pro- 
duce luxuriant growth, but also to prevent the plants from be- 
coming infested with insects, to which the species of this and 
other allied genera are very commonly subject, and which often 
cannot be got rid of without making the plants look very un- 
sightly and producing an unhealthy condition. Pits heated with 
fermenting stable-litter or leaves, are well suited to the growth of 
such plants as Zzora; the confined and moist atmosphere en- 
courages a vigorous growth, and this, with the vapour arising 
from the fermenting matter, are great preventatives of the 
breeding of insects. The soil may consist of about one-half light 
loam and peat, or leaf-mould, with a small quantity of sharp 
sand, and care must be taken to drain it well, and, in shifting, 
not to overpot it. This, like the rest of the genus, is readily in- 
creased by cuttings treated in the manner generally recommended 
for the propagation of hard-wooded stove plants. J. 8.
