of aquatics or bog plants; and, although, perhaps, hardly 
worth cultivating as a pot plant, is well worth a place in 
open ornamental waters. Richardia ethiopica is fre-

rolla-tube short, with the limb four-lobed. Fruit a very 
ornamental small juicy berry or drupe. The following 
mode of culture has been recommended: “ After the old 
plants have been cut back in the spring, and started into 
growth, the young shoots will strike as readily as a Fuchsia, 
and with exactly the same treatment. In order to make 
good plants, short-jointed cuttings should be selected ; and, 
as soon as these are struck, they should be potted into 2}in. 
pots, using a compost of equal parts loam and peat, with a 
little charcoal and river sand. When they commence to 
grow, after being potted, remove toa pit or house with a 
temperature ranging from 60deg. to 75deg. Pinch out the 
tops of the plants as soon as they have three pairs of leaves, 
and whenever each of the laterals has made two pairs of 
leaves, pinch: out their points, and continue this operation 
with all the rest of the shoots till the beginning of August, 
at the same time keeping off all the flower-buds. The next
