Cult. This is an elegant genus of small greenhouse shrubs, 

 which deserve to be cultivated by every lover of plants. They 

 thrive best in sandy peat, and the pots should be well drained 

 with potsherds. Cuttings, taken off at a joint, and planted in 

 a pot of sand, with a bell-glass placed over them, and then set 

 in a frame, will strike root with care, the glass should be taken 

 off occasionally, to allow the cuttings to dry, otherwise they are 

 liable to damp.
