genus of plants for sub-tropical effect in summer, and conservatory decoration throughout the year. They are 
mostly of rapid growth, seedling plants soon becoming effective and ornamental. Pyracanthum is a perfect gem; 
Marginatum conspicuous for its white foliage ; Robustum for its massive brown-tinted leaves ; Laciniatum and 
Reclinatum for their exceedingly elegantly divided' foliage ; Glaucophyllum for its Oleander-like habit, and bluish- 
green leaves ; Warscewiczioides for majesty of form is unquestionably the grandest of the Solanums. In this manner 
the striking characteristics of each might be individually described.
