The Larin campana, a bell, is appropriately used 
to form a name for this extensive genus; and pyra- 
midalis, or pyramidal, is certainly expressive of a 
prominent habit of the present species. 
This plant has a beautiful tall upright spike or py- 
ramid of flowers, with straight side shoots, spreading 
but little, unless they be trained to a frame, when they 
may be extended, fan-like, to a considerable Yvidth. 
In a light soil, and dry warm situation, it will suc- 
ceed in the open ground ; but to procure it in great 
perfection it must be grown in pots, with winter pro- 
tection. The suckers should be taken off early in 
September, and planted separately in small deep pots. 
During winter, keep them in the mndow of a sitting 
room ; but in all mild weather give them full expo- 
sure, particularly to warm showers. To save trouble, 
during the next summer, the pots may be simk to the 
rim, in the open garden ; and in winter, again taken 
into the house. In the following summer they will 
flower strong and freely. Repot the plants as often 
as the roots become a little matted against its inner 
surface, observing that each succeeding pot be in- 
creased in size about two inches diameter.
