FAMILIAR GASDEX FLOWERS. 



such as F. sernilifoVm, P. curi/iiihiflorii , and F. sjjectahilis, 

 which are unique in their cliaraeters as conservatory plants. 

 Of the extreme capabilities of the more vigorous species, 

 we have examples in the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, 

 where several of the pillars are clothed to the very top 

 with fuchsias, the result being a wondrous display of vege- 

 table beauty. In the small greenhouse, F. fnhjens is in- 

 valuable for its large and handsome leafage and its exqui- 

 site lono--tubed flowers.
