When this charming plant was first introduced to this 
country from Nepal by Dr. Waxticu, great hopes were en- 
tertained that it would prove as easy of cultivation in our 
open borders as the nearly allied S. crassifolia. But the 
steat_fickleness of our climate at the early season of its 
‘Ossoming (January and February), renders it desirable 
that it should be treated as a hardy greenhouse plant, or 
1€ Inmate of a cool frame. D
