while on the other hand the inconvenience of doing so must 

 be manifest to every one. 



We were favoured by Miss Traill with the following 

 memorandum, concerning the management of the plant. 



"Some of the plants were placed in the open ground 

 near the greenhouse ; but they died down in the cold weather. 

 They have since sprung up and attained the height of about 

 three feet, and have borne leaves and flowers rather imper- 

 fectly developed. The stove plants kept their leaves all the 

 winter, and are now between five and six feet high. The 

 plant will not flower in pots, as it has large and spreading 

 roots, and requires a constant supply of moisture."
