Cunt. A tropical evergreen shrub, and an old inhabitant of 
the Royal Gardens. It grows and flowers freely in a warm 
stove, planted in a mixture of light loam and sandy peat-soil, 
care being taken that the pot is well drained. Being of low 
growth, it is suitable for being placed on the side-shelves of the 
stove. It is readily increased by planting cuttings under a bell- 
glass and placed in bottom-heat. /. S.
