No. 1887. 



CEREUS SETOSUS. 



Class. Order. 



ICOSANDRIA MONOGYN1A. 



This is a native of Brazil : we received 

 it in 1829 from Rio de Janeiro. It has a 

 trailing stem, rooting as it goes, for two 

 or three feet in length. 



Us flowers are readily produced, and 

 usually about the month of August. It 

 requires the stove, and increases without 

 difficulty by cuttings. The soil should be 

 light loam, with but little water during 

 the winter season.
