LIST OF STOVE-SHRUBS. 
in a mixture of equal parts of heath mould and loam, with a small portion of rotten 
dung-. Cuttings grow slowly ; they must be made of the ripe wood taken off in the 
autumn, and planted in pots of sand, under a glass, in a gentle dry heat ; and in 
February plunged in brisk hotbeds. 
RHEXIA. , 
R. HOLOSERICEA and VIMINEA require precisely the same treatment b.s Melastoma. 
RANDIA. 
R. BowiEANA.- — This plant requires a strong- moist heat when in a growing 
state ; should be potted in heath mould, with a little loam mixed, and may be 
increased by half ripened cuttings planted in sand in May, and plunged in a very 
brisk moist heat, and covered with a glass. 
RONDELETIA. 
For the successful culture of this genus refer to Vol. I., page ] 58 ; and Vol. IL, 
page 242. 
RUELLIA. 
R. PERsiciFOLiA and sabini are both handsome species, remarkably easy of cul - 
ture ; they do not flower freely unless their roots be cramped in the pots ; when in a 
g-rowing state they also require a large supply of water, but in winter scarcely any. 
Cuttings strike root freely in a mixture of sandy loam and leaf mould. This soil 
also suits the plants well. 
SOLANDRA. 
S. GUTTATA and GRANDIFLORA partake much of the habit and appearance of 
Brugmansia suaveoleus (^Datura arhorea). Any light rich soil suits them well ; 
they require much room for the roots, and flower freely when they have plenty of 
roots. They are easily propagated by cuttings, planted in rich soil. See Vol. II., 
page 108. 
TECOMA. 
T. STANS should be treated like Bignonia, for which refer to Vol. II., 
page 108. 
TABERN^MONTANA. 
T. GRATissiMA. — This is a very pretty sweet-scented species, growing freely in 
a mixture of equal parts of sandy loam and heath mould ; and cuttings grow in sand 
treated as other stove plants. 
WRIGHTIA. 
W. cocciNEA is another very easy growing plant, requiring precisely the same 
treatment as the last.
