lobes. Corolla white, not more than half the length of that of 
P. grandiflora, broadly infundibuliform, approaching to cam- 
panulate, 5-ribbed, the base as much contracted, part of the tube: 
very short. Limb of five spreading ovate lobes, their margins

Cuxr. A tropical shrub, with fine glossy leaves and showy 
white flowers, which latter are produced on plants when not 
more than two feet in height. It is, therefore, worthy of a 
place in every collection of woody stove-plants. It grows freely 
im a mixture of loam and leaf-mould or peat soil. It must be 
kept in a moist tropical stove, the necessary precautions of 
watering and shading during clear summer sunshine being 
carefully attended to. It is propagated by cuttings placed 
under a bell-glass, and plunged in moist bottom-heat. J. 8.
