To treat it in a manner suitable to its habit, and at the same time to produce 
the best effect from its clustered blossoms, it should be trained spirally round a 
pyramidal trellis, or one partially contracting towards the top ; observing to adopt 
one of proportionate dimensions to its scanty growth, and not to attach the 
branches with that rigorous formality too commonly persevered in ; and, especially 
towards the upper part of the plant, the shoots should be allowed greater liberty. 
Cuttings planted in sand, and placed in a gentle heat, with a confined 
atmosphere, are the ordinary means of propagation. Young plants flourish well 
in frames, potted in the usual mixture of peat, loam, and leaf-mould. Care must 
be taken that they are not over-potted, as a very circumscribed space is sufficient 
for the roots. 
Baron Segismund Pronay, a Hungarian nobleman, and a patron of horti- 
culture, at Hetzendorf, near Vienna, and afterwards at Frankfort-on-the-Mayn, 
is commemorated in the generic appellation.
