TILIACORA. 



The only species is a stove evergreen shrub (ord. 

 Meni.spennaceie) of climbing habit. It may be 

 multiplied by cuttings, rooted in sand, in heat, in 

 a close frame. Soil, sandy loam and peat in equal 

 parts. 



Only Species : 



racemosa, My., st., yel., in panicles 6" to 12" 

 long, fruits red. 



TILLANDSIA. 



A large genus of American plants, mostly stove 

 epiphytes (aril. BromeUacea). Many have hand- 

 some foliage, and nearly all have very showy bracts. 

 Propagation, by seeds or suckers. The latter are 

 lemoved from the parent in spring, potted singly 

 in very porous compost, and kept shaded until well 

 rooted. Soil, peat, loam, and sand, with mi.-lied 



potsherds. Usneoides, bulbosa, and ixioides need 

 to be fastened to blocks of wood, with a little 

 sphagnum about their roots.
