tbundifh, Very thick and fucculenr; 

 and the Fruit .„ about the Size of a 

 Walnut, having Tufts of fmall 

 Leaves on it, and hath a whitila 

 mucilaginous Pulp. ■ 



It may be propagated by planting 

 the Cuttings during any ol the Sum- 

 mer-months: thefeCuttmgs mould be 

 planted in Pots filled with frcftt light 

 Earth, and plunged into a moderate 

 Hot-bed of Tanners Bark, oblerving 

 t to fhade them from the Heat of the 

 Day, as alfo to refrefh them every 

 third or fourth Day with Water. 

 In about two Months the Cuttings 

 will have made good Roots, whin 

 they may be carefully taken out of 

 the Pots, and each planted in a fe- 

 parate Pot fill'd with frefh Earth, 

 and then plunged into the Hot-bed 

 again, where they may remain du- 

 ring the Summer-feafon ; but ?xMi- 

 chaelmas, wheri the Nights begin to 

 be cold, they fliould be removed in- 

 to the Stove, and plunged into the 

 Bark-bed. During the Winter-fea- 

 fon, the Plants mull be kept warm, 

 and lhauld be waterM twice a Week; 

 but in cold Weather it mould not 

 be given in large Quantities. In 

 Summer they muit have a large 

 Share of Air, and mufl: be more 

 plentifully water'd : but they mould 

 conihntly remain in the Stove ; for 

 though they will bear the open Air 

 in Summer, in a warm Situation} 

 yet they will make no Progrefsj if 

 they are placed abroad ; nor do they 

 thrive near lb well in the Dry- (love, 

 as when they are plunged in the 

 Tan ; fo that the bell Vyay is to fet 

 them next a Trellace, at the Back of 

 the Tan-bed, to which their Branches 

 may be fattened, to prevent their 

 trailing on other Plants. ThisFlant 

 has not as yet produced either Plott- 

 ers or Fruit in England; but as there 

 are feveral Plants pretty well grown 

 in the Gardens of the Curious, fo

It may be propagated by laying 

 down the tender Branches in the 

 Spring, obferving in dry Weather to 

 refreih them with Water, which 

 will greatly facilitate their Rooting : 

 the Spring following, they will be

 be cut off from the old Plants, and 

 carefully taken up, fo as not to in-
