It is a curious fact that few papilionaceous woody plants increase readily by 

 cuttings, or the other ordinary means used, but all of them produce seeds 

 in abundance, and these vegetate freely. The best mode of increasing 

 the genera under consideration, is certainly by seeds ; some of them will 

 strike by cuttings, but it is both a tedious and precarious process ; yet, 

 nevertheless, we are often compelled to adopt it. Young wood is generally 

 chosen, and that planted in sand under bell glasses is considered the 

 best plan. The soil in which this splendid assemblage of plants seems to 

 flourish is light, turfy peat, although Chorizema is often found to grow 

 luxuriantly in a loamy soil. Loddigesia strikes root freely, the young 

 shoots being planted in sand and a glass placed over them.
