readily if properly managed ; let them be well 
ripened before they are taken oflF ; then cut them 
at a joint, and plant them in pots of sand, without 
shortening any of the leaves, except on the part 
that is planted in the sand, where they should be 
taken off quite close, the less depth they are planted 
in the pots the better, if they only stand firm, when 
the sand is well closed round them ; then place 
them under hand-glasses in the propagating house, 
but not plunge them in heat, the glasses must be 
frequently taken off to give them air, and dry 
them, or they are apt to damp off ; when they are 
rooted, the sooner they are potted off in small pots 
the better, as the sand is liable to canker their 
roots, if left too long in it ; when potted off they 
should be placed in a close frame, but not on heat, 
as a bottom-heat will destroy their roots, when 
they must be hardened to the air by degrees. 
Plants raised in this way have better roots, grow 
faster, and flower sooner, than plants raised from 
seeds ; in raising them from seeds, they should be 
sown in the same kind of soil as the plants are 
grown in, and placed in the greenhouse, or if it is in 
summer they will come up sooner, if placed out in 
the open air ; they will soon make their appearance, 
when they should be potted off in small pots, for if 
left in the seed pots too long they are apt to die, 
and are more difficult to move with safety.'' Syno~

Myrtacex. This very handsome, lofty-growing spe-

difficult to preserve in a healthy state. It must be 
grown in a moist, warm atmosphere, not by any 
means under 60 degrees, and planted in loam and 
peat mixed. Cuttings in a moist heat, root in sand, 
under a glass. B. speciosa yields a reddish-brown 
drupe, the seed of which, mixed with the bait, in- 
ebriates fish.

sin^lar species, very difficult to preserve in our 
collections. It requires a very sandy loam, and a 
light part of the greenhouse; it is very probable, 
that if they had more light in their growing season, 
they would be much easier preserved. Synonyyne :
