176 tESCHYNANTHUS boschianus. 
Pine- apple Place. The plants had little matter to root into, nothing richer than 
decayed moss, fibrous peat, or leaf-mould, and were wholly under control, so far as 
being kept dry, &c, at pleasure. In the proper application of the last principle 
lies the secret of flowering many succulent plants, difficult to bring into an inflo- 
rescent condition. Small rockeries, or rustic fixtures in the stove, or Orchid house, 
furnish appropriate situations for our subject to trail over, and grow upon as it 
pleases ; and under such circumstances there is little fear but it would flower freely. 
Specimens brought into flower in the stove, afterwards do well, and continue to 
develope their blossoms in the greenhouse. Cuttings root with great facility. 
The generic name is from aischune modesty, and anthos a flower ; the 
specific is given by De Vriese, complimenting Vanden Bosch, formerly Governor- 
General of the Dutch possessions in the East Indies.
