IT am indebted to Mr. Farris for the seeds of this plant, pro- 
cured in Peru, which are said to be poisonous. It thrives well, 
cultivated in a cool greenhouse, grown in sandy loam and peat, 
and allowed plenty of pot room. In the summer season it will 
do well out of doors. The plant is of more botanical than of 
horticultural interest.— JV. W. S.
