PAXTON'S FLOWER GARDEN. 



The Oval-leaved Hoya has much the appearance of the last ; but differs in its flowers being 

 distinctly yellow instead of straw-coloured ; and in the form and construction of the foliage. The 

 leaves are about 6 inches long, in the form of a narrow ellipse, differing very little in width near either 

 end. Instead of the veins diverging regularly from the midrib in the same way as in the Pallid 

 Hoya, there are three principal veins which proceed together from a little above the base, giving the 

 leaf a triple-nerved venation. So that in fact these two species belong to two different types of 

 structure, and stand in two different sections of M. Decaisne's classification of the genus. 



These charming species each require the same treatment as the Fleshy Hoya, and trained with it 

 along the rafters of a house, grow in perfect harmony, and produce an extremely agreeable variety 

 without occupying more room than one of them would require.
