 are smaller and without fragrance. 



The plants of this genus are all small, of compact 

 growth, with beautiful evergreen foliage. They should 

 be grown in baskets with sphagnous moss and pot- 

 sherds, and a good supply of heat and moisture while 

 growing ; they also succeed well on blocks with a little 

 moss. 



Burlingtonia maculata should be grown in a pot. They 

 require but little rest, and should not be allowed to get 

 dry at the root. Propagated by division.
