SPECIFIC CHARACTER 
` In general the species of this genus have small claim to beauty, their flowers being for the most 
part green or greenish, or at least of some dingy colour; their only recommendation has been their 
ness. 
This plant, however, is one with a strikingly gay ee? A Mm or orange-coloured blossoms 
being quite clear, and of considerable size for a Cestrum. in fact a very beautiful house 
and perhaps not unsuited for turning into the open : during summer. Its foliage too is 
dark green, shining, and abundant, and in the winter it is rendered gay by an abundance of snow-

malapa in Guatemala. D flowered in the Chiswick Garden in guit t 1844. 
he flowers are not only beautiful, but m 3 for along time, and breathe a very pleasant per- 
fume of oran el. 
It is a Sa? shrub which will grow freely in almost any sort of soil. Like many other — 
house plants it requires to be placed out of doors for a few weeks in summer, when watering AM 
be "n attended to. This will induce the plant to form short jointed med, and produce en n- 
dance of flower-buds. After the flowering season, it will naturally lose all fen en but its arge 
snow-white berries will still render it an attractive object. Being deciduous it requires very little 
er in winter, nor is it necessary to apply fire heat except to cen off frost, It may either be pro- 
pagated from seeds or from cuttings, under ordinary treatment
