This has a considerable resemblance to 
the M. lanceolata, orcitrina, yet differs much 
in its mode of flowering, and is a far 
more desirable plant. The blossoms are 
produced most copiously, and in such mul- 
tiplied succession as, in a large plant, 
scarcely ever to cease, through the whole 
year. It is from New Holland, and requires 
merely the common greenhouse shelter. 
When planted in the ground it is highly or- 
namental, The soil should be loam and 
peat, and it may be propagated by cuttings.
