LIST OF STOVE-SHRUBS. 
BARRINGTONIA. . 
B. SPECIOSA. — This noble 'plant, to flourish properly, requires a strong heat 
and plenty of moisture during- the season of growth ; and, at the time of watering, it 
should never be exposed to a temperature much below 60° Fahrenheit. Our 
plants, at Chatsworth, grow freely in equal parts of heath mould and good rich 
loam. We have found cuttings strike well, if taken off when the wood is ripe and 
planted in pure sand, and plunged in a brisk moist heat, with a hand- glass over them. 
BUTEA. 
B. F RONDOS A and superb a are two fine stove plants ; they grow freely in 
equal parts of heath mould, rich loam, and very rotten dung. They are propagated 
by cuttings of half ripened wood, which should be planted in pots of sand, plunged 
in heat, and covered with a hand-glass, in consequence of the size of the leaves, 
which must, by no means, be mutilated. 
BEAUMONTIA. 
B. GRANDiFLORA. — This is another plant suited for rafters or trellis. It is easily 
cultivated, growing in equal parts of loam and heath mould, and is propagated by 
cuttings of half ripened wood, planted in sand, under a bell-glass, and plunged in 
heat. It is a native of Nepal. 
BRUNSFELSIA. 
B. UNDULATA. — The flowers of this plant emit a rather pleasant fragrance. 
A mixture of loam and heath mould suits the plant well ; and cuttings planted in 
sand under a glass, and plunged in heat, grow freely. 
CAROLINEA. 
C. ALBA. — This magnificent tree is a native of Brazil. The flowers are white, 
and emit rather an unpleasant smell. The C. princeps and minor are, if any 
thing, more beautiful than the alha ; the insignis will grow between thirty and 
forty feet high, the flowers are very large, of extraordinary beauty, and have a delicious 
fragrance, but too powerful if closely confined. The fruit will grow nearly as large 
as a child's head, and has a sweetish taste not unlike Spanish chestnuts. All the 
species are easy of culture, but require plenty of room and heat. The soil that 
suits them best is two parts good loam and one part very rotten dung. They are 
propagated by layers, which should be tongued on the upper side, also by cuttings 
of half ripened wood, planted in sand, under a hand-glass, in heat. 
CEREUS. 
For the general culture of all stove Cactece, see our remarks, Vol. I., p. 49. 
CROSSANDRA. 
C. UNDULiEFOLTA. — This is a splendid species, and remarkably easy of culture. 
Any light rich soil will suit it, and it propagates readily in spring, by cuttings 
planted in sand under a glass, in heat. 
CAREY A. 
C. sPHuERiCA and arborea are natives of the East Indies ; they grow well in
