These are plants of grand foliage, but no great 
beauty of blossom. Some of the species are robust 
enough to bear our winters in the open air, but 
they are rather tender, and rec^uire to be placed 
in a sheltered situation, or against a warm wall, 
and covered with mats during winter; cuttings 
root in sand, under a glass. The stove species are 
low W. Indian trees, and known there under the 
name of bully-tree. They thrive well in loamy 
soil, or loam and peat; and cuttings will root, 
but, according to Sweet, not freely, in sand under 
a hand-glass, being well ripened before they are 
taken off Lou. Ency. of Plants — Synonymes : 1.
