PLEROMA SPLENDENS. Tibouchina semidecan- 
dra. Glorybush or Princess Flower, from Brazil.

age and flowers for planting in the more pro- 
tected spots in Southern California. It grows six 
to eight feet high, and has soft velvety foliage 
of a rich deep green turning bronze in the fall.

a free bloomer and should have a warm location.

trained to a stake while young and kept trimmed.

there is no danger of overwatering.
