ing in the manner of F. macrostema and its varieties. F. 

 denticulata is described as twelve feet high, gorgeously beau- 

 tiful when loaded with its purple flowers, still larger than 

 those of F. coj-ymhifiora ; while F. simplicicaulis and apetala 

 are similar in appearance but yet more striking. 



The lover of plants will be glad to learn that this noble spe- 

 cies is very easily managed. It strikes readily from cuttings, 

 and the soil which suits it is a mixture of loam, peat, and 

 sand. Though very pretty if grown in a pot, there is no 

 doubt that it will form a much more beautiful object if sta- 

 tioned in the border of the conservatory. When more com- 

 mon, of course it will be used to plant out in the beds of the 

 flower-garden in the same way as Fuchsia fulgens, and will 

 probably be found to be more hardy.
