THE GREEN-HOUSE CATALOGUE. 



These plants are free flowerers, not of bulky or straggling 

 forms, and of very easy culture ; but all their flowers are 

 yellow. They come in, excepting M. glabrata, at a season 

 when there are abundance of other plants in flower. The 

 two last species are the most appropriate, the first of them 

 as odoriferous, and the other as showy. Loam and leaf- 

 mould, or loam-peat, and a little sand, will grow them 

 freely. Cuttings in young wood root under a bell-glass.
