time only a little water should beg-iven, and that with caution ; afterwards they may 
be treated as recommended for older plants. 
A. viscosa, a species described as growing- upwards of thirty feet high, much 
inferior to the former, but, like it, very easy to cultivate. It is distinguished by its 
large cordate angularly lobed leaves, which abound, as well as the branches, in a 
clammy sticky substance. Madagascar is also its native country, whence it was 
introduced in 1823. The treatment recommended for the above will also apply to 
this. Cuttings will succeed in the same manner. 
A. tilicBfolia. Introduced in 1824 from the island of Bourbon, where it is 
described as growing from ten to twenty feet high. Its leaves resemble those of the 
common lime-tree. The whole habit of the plant is much like the other species, 
therefore the treatment required for them will also suit it.

CLASS I.— PLANTS WITH TWO COTYLEDONS (DICOTYLEDONE^). 
the evening primrose tribe (onagrari^). 
CEnothera humifusa. Pencilled Evening Primrose. A pretty hardy little 
annual, raised by Mrs. Marryatt, who originally received the seeds from Mr, 
Lambert. Its habit is to creep close to the ground, forming a tuft a foot in 
diameter, and sheds its seeds very freely. Dr. Lindley says, " this plant, when 
exposed to much light, has flowers of a very pale delicate flesh colour, but if they 
are made to expand in a cool shady place, such, for instance, as a sitting-room with 
a northern aspect, they acquire a beautiful pink." BoU Reg. 1 829.
