room, grow freely in light sandy loam, with a small portion of very rotten dung 
mixed. They are readily increased by cuttings of the half ripened wood, planted 
in light soil and plunged in heat. 
Quisqualis. — This requires precisely the same treatment as the Combretum. 
Well suited for rafters or pillars. 
Celastris. — Plant in a mixture of rich loam and peat, and propagate by cut- 
tings of ripe wood, planted either in soil or sand, and plunged in heat. 
Morenoa. — The species of this genus I am not acquainted with, I believe they 
are very scarce, but are said to be handsome climbers, well deserving of cultivation. 
They are propagated by cuttings, planted in sand and covered with glass. 
Hoya. — These plants are good ornaments for either pillars or trellis. A mix- 
ture of loam and peat suits them well, and the situation somewhat shaded. Propa- 
gated freely either by cuttings or seeds. 
Passiflora. — See Vol. 1, page 25. 
Mutisia. — A pretty plant of low growth, calculated for a low trellis. It should 
be planted in peat and mould in a cool part of the stove, where it will flower freely, 
and may be propagated by cuttings of half ripened wood. 
Petrea. — Plant in loam and peat ; suited for trellis ; and plant cuttings in 
sand under a bell glass. 
Gonolobus diadematus is not remarkable for the showy beauty of its flowers, 
but has a pretty appearance trained up a pillar or rafter. It should be planted in 
light soil, and may be propagated by cuttings. 
Banhinia. — Plants with pretty foliage, and calculated for pillars. The flowers 
are very beautiful. Plant them in a very light loam. They are propagated by half 
ripened cuttings, planted in sand, and covered with a glass, and plunged in heat. 
Pergularia odoratissima. — This plant, when in flower, emits a delightful 
scent like lemons ; and although there is nothing showy in the appearance of the 
plant, it is well deserving a place in the stove. It thrives in peat and loam, and 
may be propagated by cuttings. 
Stigmaphyllon aristatum. — A beautiful plant — may be propagated by 
cuttings. 
Sphcerostoma propinqum. — An entire new hot-house climber— very curious. 
Clitoria. — This genus bears pea-like flowers in abundance. They thrive well 
in loam and peat, and may be propagated by seeds and cuttings. 
Porana volubilis will run to a great length on a trellis or rafter. It is in- 
creased chiefly by seed, which it produces freely. The soil is peat and loam. 
Ipomcea. — These are beautiful plants for rafters or pillars, being very free 
flowerers, and easily cultivated. Any light rich soil will suit them, and they are 
easily propagated by seed, and cuttings. 
, Echites stellaris. — We are not acquainted with this plant; but from the 
figure and description of it given by Dr. Lindley in the Botanical Register of 1664, 
we are induced to recommend its culture as soon as it is sufficiently increased for dis- 
tribution by the Horticultural Society. It is said to grow " readily in peat and 
loam, but is scarcely to be propagated except by cuttings of the root." 
Phisianthus albens.-— This fine plant we believe is yet very scarce. We
