Seeds. Cuttings should be placed in sand, covered by a 

 hand-glass, in a gentle heat. 



Adhatoda. See Justicia. 

 Adiantum. See Ferns.

 stool will soon send out lateral growths, which, in time, 

 may be separated and treated similarly. Vanda, Saccola- 

 bium, Angraecum, Renanthera are increased in the same 

 way. (See under Orchids.) 



^schynanthus. Gesneracece. 



Propagated by seeds, which are very unsatisfactory. By 

 cuttings, which root freely in a well-drained pot, filled with
