ORD. Solanacee. Including Habrothamnus. Ап extensive 
genus of stove, greenhouse, or half-hardy shrubs. Flowers 
eymose or fascicled; cymes corymbose or panicled; corolla 
with an elongated tube, widening gradually to the top; 
limb five-parted, sub-plicate, spreading or revolute, regular, 
conduplicate in sstivation. Leaves alternate, entire. This 
very ornamental genus of shrubs are useful subjects either 
as pot plants or as climbers; but plenty of pot room is, 
` under all circumstances, necessary. А free and moderately 
rich soil is most suitable. Propagated by cuttings, in 
August, the same being potted off as frequently as the 
roots reach the sides of the pots. They should be pinched 
back early in January, to cause a bushy growth; the 
following season, they do better, as a rule, if potted and 
grown on in frames or out of doors. Where Cestrum 
are intended to be grown as wall-subjects, they should 
be planted out in the greenhouse or conservatory borders, 
and receive liberal treatment. They generally do well in 
a house where a temperature of about 40deg. or 45deg. 
is maintained during winter.
