History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1028. Quisqualis. A Latin word, expressive of uncertainty. It was given by Rumphius to a tree of 
Amboyna, because it was subject to variation. It is a fine climbing genus of easy culture. The best soil 
for the species is a mixture of loam and peat ; and cuttings root freely in sand, under a hand-glass. {.Bot. 
Cult. 100.) 
1029. Melastoma. From /asXotf, black, and s-o/jt-ot,, mouth. Many of the species produce black berries 
similar to gooseberries, and which stain the mouth black. This is a very numerous genus of shrubs and low 
trees; the species display great unity of character, and may be considered ornamental. They require but 
little water in winter, and are easily increased in sand, plunged in a moist heat. 
1030. Petaloma. From frsrotXsv, a petal, and AiD/^a, an edge. Flowers of which the petals are inserted on the 
edge of the calyx. A small plant with the leaves, but not flowers, of Melastoma. 
1031. Acisanthera. From ctMs, a point, the anthers being pointed. Plants with the habit of Melastoma.
