from G. temie in its short petioles, and subracemose dark 

 flowers ; and from G. sparsum in the leaflets not being at all 

 veiny, and all equal sized. 



This species strikes readily from cuttings, either in 

 autumn or in spring, if they are put into a pot of sand and 

 covered with a bell-glass. The soil most congenial to its 

 growth is peat and sand, with about one-fourth of good loam. 

 When the plant is young its top should be taken ofl", it will 

 then send out several lateral shoots, and by topping some of 

 these, it will soon form a handsome bush. It is as easily 

 cultivated as the more common G. polymorphum. Of course 

 it requires the protection of the greenhouse.
