raised from seed by SirR.C.Hoare,who sent us the plant 
from which our drawing was taken. What its parents 
were is at present unknown to us : perhaps hybrid for 
several generations. Being so different from all others, 
it is a very desirable plant ; and being of small growth, 
it takes but little room : it is also as hardy as any of 
the genus, and thrives well in a mixture of turfy loam 
and peat, or any rich light soil. Cuttings root freely, 
if planted in pots, and set on a shelf in the green- 
house.
