LIST OF GREENHOUSE SHRUBS. 
composed of very sandy heath mould and lig-ht loam suits it well ; it is very 
impatient of water, the pots must therefore be well drained with potsherds, the 
general treatment is much the same as that of Cape heaths ; exposure to hot sun- 
shine is always injurious. Propagated by cuttings of half ripened wood, planted in 
sand, under a bell-glass, with a dry heat; it also produces seeds, which should be 
sown as soon as ripe. 
STENOCHILUS. 
S. MACULATUS. This plant should be planted in sandy heath mould, and be 
placed in a very airy part of the greenhouse. It is propagated by cuttings of half- 
ripened wood, planted in sand under glass, and placed in a gentle heat. 
SENECIO. 
S. ELEGANS PLENA should be grown in light rich soil, and cuttings planted in 
pots of soil, and placed in a cucumber frame, strike root very freely. 
STYPHELIA. 
S. TUBiFLORA. This plant belongs to Epacridece, for the culture of which, 
see Vol. I. page 53. 
TEMPLETONIA. 
T. GLAUCA grows to a much finer size if planted out in the pit of a conser- 
vatory, than when in a pot. It grows freely in a mixture of equal parts of loam 
and heath mould. Cuttings of half-ripened wood, planted in pots of sand under a 
glass, and placed in a gentle heat, will grow, although with difficulty. 
T. RETUSA has very slender branches, and though not a climber, is nevertheless 
a beautiful plant to train against a trellis in the greenhouse. It should be planted 
wholly in peat, and cuttings treated as those of the T. glauca. 
TECOMA. 
T. Capensis. For the culture of this, see Vol. II. page 86, on Bignonia 
Capensis.
