two series from a large fleshy orange-coloured ¢orus or gynobase. 
Stigma particularly large and deeply lobed. W. J. H. . 
Curr. A tropical shrub or small tree, requiring the tempera- 
ture of the stove. It will grow in any kind of good garden-soil, 
if care be taken in watering, that the mould does not become 
stagnant. As itis of slender growth and apt to run up, it is 
advisable to shorten the branches so as to keep it bushy, and 
induce a greater number of flowering branches. It is readily 
propagated by cuttings, placed under a bell-glass and plunged in 
bottom heat. J. S.
