Cult. The species of this genus are all stove plants. They 

 require a loamy soil or a mixture of loam and peat. Ripe 

 cuttings strike well in sand, under a hand-glass, placed in a mo- 

 derate heat. The seeds, when procured from their native places 

 of growth, should be sown immediately in pots, filled with a mix- 

 ture of loam, peat, and sand, and then plunged into a hot-bed, 

 but as they soon become rancid, it is doubtful whether they will 

 remain good during a voyage.
