This is a particularly fine variety of a 

 favourite species, which was originally in- 

 troduced into the Kew Garden in 1774, by 

 Masson. It flowers at dlflferent seasons iu 

 great abundance : the blossoms last very*

It increases by cuttings, which, however, 

 are not produced in great abundance : the 

 soil should be sandy peat.
