generally raised from seeds, but the plants have heretofore flow- 

 ered so late as lo prevent their ripening. It is difficult to keep 

 during winter, and the only way to preserve it will be to plant 

 early, and thus enable the seeds to perfect themselves before 

 frost. i^Bot. Mag., Dec.)

An old plant, in the English collections, but one of considera- 

 ble beauty, with numerous fragrant white blossoms, and small 

 privet-looking foliage. The flowers are produced on short 

 axillary peduncles, two or three in number on all the terminal 

 shoots. These, from their abundance, give the plant a lively as- 

 pect, and, by their odor, render it desirable in all gardens. As 

 it is an hardy green-house plant in England, it will undoubtedly 

 flourish in the same situation in this country, and, perhaps, keep 

 well in an ordinary cellar, from whence it may be removed into 

 the border, in IMay, where it will grow rapidly, and flower the 

 whole summer season. It is a native of the Cape of Good 

 Hope. Of easy cultivation. [Bot. Reg., Dec.)

"Although not a showy plant, it may be found useful to cover 

 the back wall of a hot-house, or any similar place, where there 

 is not light enough for other plants to grow. In such situations 

 it spreads rapidly, like ivy." It is easily gi'own and easily in- 

 creased. It succeeds best trained upon a wall in a moist stove. 

 The flowers are axillary, solitary, campanulate, about the size 

 of Bignom'ff, pale yellow. The leaves are large, oval-lanceolate, 

 green on tJie surface and brown underneath. It is -a native of 

 the West Indies, where it creeps upon the ground or climbs the 

 trunks of trees, by the aid of the numerous roots, which are 

 pushed out from the stem. Figured li-om the hot-house of Mr. 

 Knight. (Bot. Reg., Jan.)
