on the nefves on the underside. Stipules subulato-lanceolate,

Cutr. A slender, upright, soft-wooded, shrubby plant of 
rapid growth, soon becoming tall and naked below, and there- 
fore better adapted for planting out in a greenhouse conserva- 
tory, than for cultivating in a pot. In either case it is desirable 
to shorten the leading shoots, so as to induce it to branch. It 
will thrive well in any good garden-loam, mixed with a little 
leaf-mould or sandy peat-soil. During summer it requires to be 
freely supplied with water, and may at that season be fully ex- 
posed to the open air. It is readily increased by cuttings, 
treated in the usual way. J. 8.
