These are singular plants, shrubby and herbaceous, and 

 some very unlike others, being low massy succulents with 

 few leaves. These require very little water and a poor 

 sandy soil : the others, and especially the South of Europe 

 species, grow in hght rich soil kept moist. Cuttings of most 

 of the species root freely in sand : those of the succulents 

 should be dried before planting, and some of them strike 

 the better for a little bottom heat. 



Cro'^ton maritimum, a shrubby plant from Carolina, 

 which grows in sandy soil, and is increased by cuttings in 

 sand. 



Rici^NUs africdnus and Uvidus, Cape shrubs, which grow 

 in loam and plenty of leaf-mould, and may be increased 

 either by seeds or cuttings.
