dacete. This very elegant plant, and another, not 
yet introduced, were originally discovered by the 
gentleman to whom the genus is dedicated. S. 
mnrginata is at present supposed to he rather 
difficult of culture. It will not grow so as to flower 
if kept in a pot, but thrives perfectly well when 
attached to a piece of wood, with a little moss on 
it.s roots. It mu<t be kept in a hot, moist part of 
the house. “ In its native state, its flower-stalk is 
frequently four feet high, branching, and covered 
with flowers. During the dry season, it will bear 
intense heat without injury .” — Sertum Orchi-

interesting on account of their leaves, which, like 
those of the sensitive plant, fall at the slightest 
touch. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand, is best i 
adapted to them ; and they may be increased by | 
young cuttings, planted in sand, under a glass, in i 
heat, or by separating the tubers of the roots. '

sequently afford much shade. lAnn 5, Or. 5, Nat. 
Or. Araliacece. The foliage of this genus being very 
handsome, the species are, on that account, well 
worth cultivating. Loam, peat, and sand mixed, 
appears to stiit them best ; and cuttings root very 
freely in sand, under a glass, in heat. Synonymes-:
