hundred feet elevation. As the stems are said to root at 

 the nodes when the plant is thrown down, there should be 

 no difficulty in propagating it. The plant from which the 

 figure is taken was presented to the Royal G-ardens, 

 Kew, by Mr. Warpur, where it flowered in a greenhouse 

 in November, 1900, and continued flowering for some 

 months.
