SOLANDRA VIRIDIFLORA. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
A native of Brazil, introduced in the year 
1815. It seems to be of humble growth, 
flowering freely when one or two feet high, 
in which respect it is preferable to the 
S. grandiflora. The flowers, though not bril- 
liant, are large and showy, and the plant is 
well deserving a place in any stove. It may 
be increased by cuttings, and the soil should 
berich loam, with a sparing supply of water, 
particularly during the winter season.
