Cyphia. Campanulacece . 



When the stems begin to push out from the root, cut 

 off as many of the shoots as are required, and place them 

 in small pots in an equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand 

 in abundance. The young plants should be kept dry 

 until callused, but not covered with glass. They may 

 also be inci-eased by cuttings, under a hand-glass in a 

 cool house.
