It is of easy culture, but as it appears to grow all the year round, it should 
not be dried off at any season. It usually blooms during June and July, and

and treated in the same manner as I have previously recommended for plants of 
this genus.—B. S. Williams, Victoria Nursery , Upper Holloway , London.
