A native of Trinidad, for wliich we were 

 indebted to the kindness of the late Sir R. 

 Woodford. It is a shrub of moderate size, 

 flowering freely early in the spring, and pos- 

 sessing great beauty. It must be preserved 

 in the stove throughout the year. We have 

 propagated it by cuttings. It should be 

 potted in loam and peat.
