being formed of the flowering capacity of the species. It has stems well furnished 
with broad ovate foliage ; and though a much superior plant, it is evidently nearly 
allied to S. duploserratus. 
In the Exeter Nursery it has been grown in a warm greenhouse ; and from 
the latitude in which it was detected, we suspect a little heat will always prove 
necessary in the early part of the growing season, for the production of fine 
specimens. It is not, however, improbable that it may flower well in an 
ordinary greenhouse or even in the open air, in the latter part of a favourable 
summer ; and perhaps it may prove a suitable temporary plant for the lower part 
of a conservative wall, though we much doubt whether it will exist there through 
the winter. 
It thrives well in a mixture of peat, loam, and sand, and requires to be kept 
moderately moist. Cuttings treated in the usual way for tender, soft-wooded 
plants, strike root with the greatest facility.
