plants, with yellow flowers, natives 
of Britain, North America, and

Nepal, not growing more than 4 or 
5 inches high. ‘They are rather 
difficult +o cultivate, but succeed 
best in a moist shady situation, near 
a rivulet, or at the foot of rockwork, 
or in a grotto. ‘They should be 
grown in a mixture cf loam and 
peat, and are propagated by division 
f the roots.

pentaphy'llus is Prof. Don’s name 
for Trope‘olum pentaphy'llum. 'The 
general appearance of the plant re- 
sembles that of Trope\olum trica/d- 
rum; bat when examined closely, 
the flowers will be found to differ in 
their construction, and in the num-. 
ber of the little inner petals, which 
are five in Tropzeolum, and only two 
in Chymocarpus. ‘The roct of the 
first also somewhat resembles a po- 
tato, and that of the last a carrot. 
Chymocarpus pentaphy'llus is a) 
beautiful climbing plant from Buenos 
Ayres, growing freely in sandy peat 
and loam, in the open air, if planted 
against a south wall; but generally 
kept in a greenhouse. It grows very | 
rapidly, and produces a profusion of 
red and green flowers during the | 
whole summer, which, should the 
autumn be favourable, are succeeded 
by a number of black juicy berries, 
which, in flavour and appearance, 
are not unlike the Zante grape. It 
‘ grows freely from seeds, if sown in 
a gentle heat immediately they are 
ripe, and may be increased by cut- 
tings, or division of the roots. When 
it is grown in a pot, care must be

taken not to over-water it, when 
the stems have died down in the 
autumn. When trained over a wire 
frame, it makes a splendid show 
when in flower, or fruit.

Cinera ‘ria. — Composite. —The 
| Cape Aster. The half-shrubby 
| plants belonging to this genus are 
all of easy culture, and hybridize 
freely with each other; and when 
it is added that they produce a great 
abundance of showy flowers, it will 
not appear surprising that they are 
in general cultivation. ‘They are 
nearly hardy, but are always grown 
/in pots, as they flower so early in 
the season, that in the open ground 
their fower-buds would be liable to 
be nipped by frost. They are grown 
in light rich soil, and only require 
ordinary attention in watering. They 
are propagated by dividing the roots 
in August, by cuttings struck in 
autumn, er by seeds, which they 
ripen ii abundance... The. seed 
should be sown in May, on a slight 
hotbed, and the young plants pricked - 
out into small pots, and shifted fre- 
quently during the summer. If they 
are wanted to flower in December, 
| th ey should be kept in the green- 
| house all the year, and they will be- 
gin to throw up their flower-stalks 
in October; but if they are not 
wanted to flower before April, the 
usual time of their flowering, they 
may stand in the open air, and need 
not be shifted above three or four 
times during the summer ; and in 
October they may be put into a cold 
pit, where they may remain, just 
protected from the frost till March, 
when they will begin to send up 
their flower-stalks. Nearly all the 
beautiful purple-flowered kinds are 
varieties of hybrids of C. cruénta, a 
native of the Canaries. The finest 
hybrids are C. Waterhousiana, C. 
Hendersonii, and the kind called 
the King.
