that bad been procured from C. hlattaria^ mixed with 
the pollen of Phymatanthus elatus. It is as near as 
possible intermediate between the two; the leaves 
agreeing nearly with the latter, except in being a little 
broader and softer ; the flowers partake more of the 
former, but are larger and more spreading. It is al- 
together a very handsome plant ; and, like the others 
of the same tribe, succeeds well in a mixture of loam, 
peat, and sand, watering them freely when in a flou- 
rishing state, and giving them a dry airy situation in 
winter; as they are more liable to receive injury by be- 
ing too much crowded with other plants, or by receiving 
too much moisture on their leaves, than by any other 
means. Cuttings will strike root freely, taken off be- 
fore they get too ripe. They must be planted in pots 
in the same kind of soil, and may be placed on a shelf 
in the greenhouse.
