Cuxr. With few exceptions, the numerous species of Jvora 
are natives of the East Indies, Java, and other islands of the 
Indian Ocean ; they require, therefore, to be cultivated in a 
warm and moist hothouse. An atmosphere similar to that main- 
tained in the Orchideous house will suit them. This is an erect, 
slender species, apt to become thin and naked below ; it is, 
therefore, necessary occasionally to stop the leading shoots, in 
order to make it throw out side-branches. Light loam and 
sandy peat-soil suit it, if the pot is well drained. Like the 
other well-known species, this increases readily from cuttings, 
planted in sand under a bell-glass, and plunged in bottom 
heat. J. 9. —
