TACSOMA, Nat. Ord. Passijloracea'. 

 A grand genus of the Passiflora family, yielding to no twiner in cultivation for the 

 dazzling brilliancy of its colours, size, and beauty of its flo vers, which are produced in great 

 profusion and succession throughout the year. As some difliculty has been experienced in this 

 country in blooming the varieties of this magnificent genus, our " Sardinian Correspondent" 

 has supplied us with the following information : — "To flower the Tacsonia successfully, it 

 should be frequently stopped, as the flowers are produced upon the lateral shoots ; it should 

 be grown in rich soil, and frequently syringed during warm weather, to induce a vigorous 

 growth ; thus treated, it will cover a large space in an incredibly short period, and bloom 

 most profusely." lie adds, " I have had T. ignea with from 150 to 200 gorgeous scarlet 

 flowers open at the same time." Mr. Beaton, in the ''Journal of Horticulture," October, 

 1860, p. 31, offers a stimulus to the flowering of this magnificent greenhouse ornament.
