RONDELETIA LONGIFLORA. 
With regard to other particulars, it may be potted in a mixture of sandy loam 
and heath-mould, of almost equal parts, with the addition, perhaps, of a little leaf- 
soil. Kept in a moderately warm stove, and not stinted for pot-room, it will soon 
attain a flourishing condition, and may be retained in health by a continuance of 
the same treatment. 
Cuttings of the younger wood will root, with some tardiness, under a shaded 
hand-glass, in the stove ; and the pots containing them had better be plunged in a 
tolerably strong hotbed. 
From the extreme beauty and profusion of its flowers, it is likely to acquire 
considerable popularity. Our drawing was made from Messrs. Veitch's plant, in 
July last. 
Rondeletia is named after William Rondelet, a noted physician, and lover of 
natural history, of Montpelier.
