CATALOGUE OF GREEN-HOUSE PLANTS. 107 



Cereus, others EpiphyUiims, Mamillarias, etc. The night 

 blooming Cereus is much celebrated. They all belong to the 

 hot-house, but succeed well in a warm room or good green- 

 house. Some are formed into erect pyramids, others are of 

 a trailing habit ; and all produce from the sides of their suc- 

 culent stalks and leaves, beautiful crimson, scarlet, white, or 

 pink flowers, from INIarch to August. 



Calceolaria Of this species of delicate dwarf plants, 

 there are several splendid varieties annually raised from 

 seed ; producing red, yellow, and orange-coloured flowers 

 from April to August, when shaded from the noonday sun ; 

 they will otherwise suffer from heat.

 good collections, flowers of various hues may be gathered 

 from October to May.

 braced all those fragrant and beautiful half-hardy species of

 ter species is now, however, denominated Mathiola in our
