A tall-growing species, attaining at times a height of four feet, 
and requiring an ordinary greenhouse treatment. It thrives, 
grown in turfy loam and sand, with plenty of drainage, and sup- 
plied with but little water during the winter season. It is easily 
increased by seeds, cuttings, or by the leaves, planted in nearly 
dry sand. I am indebted to the Royal Gardens at Kew for this 
fine species.—W. W. S.
