APHELANDRA. 
A. CRISTATA. — This is a most splendid species, bearing a spike of brilliant 
scarlet flowers ; it thrives well in equal parts of heath mould and sandy loam, with 
a small portion of very rotten dung. The mode of propagation is by cuttings 
planted in spring, and plunged in a brisk moist heat. This plant ought to be in 
every collection. 
ACACIA. 
A. HousTONiA and Lambertiana. — The culture of Acacias is so well known, 
that little need be said on the subject ; but we may just name that both the species, 
named above, flourish the best when placed in a cool and airy part of the stove. 
Half ripened cuttings planted in clear sand, covered with a bell-glass, and plunged 
in a brisk heat, soon strike roots, and are ready to pot off, which operation should 
be done as soon as possible after they are rooted. 
astrap^a. 
A. Wallichii.— This is a most splendid plant, bearing fine pendent rose- 
coloured flowers ; it, however, requires a deal of room. It is a native of Madagascar, 
and will grow freely in any rich light soil, if sufficient pot room and heat be given. 
It strikes freely from cuttings, planted in pots filled with equal parts of heath mould 
and sandy loam, and plunged in heat, with a hand-glass over them. 
ALLAMANDA. 
A. CATHARTicA. — This plant is a native of Guiana, found on the sea coasts, 
and is excellent for the rafters of a hothouse, being an evergreen, and bearing a
