amongst the most beautiful4 ,the only drawback to its general merit1 as a hot-house plant1 is the great height to which it might attain before it flowers2 being in common fourteen or fifteen feet4 ,it propagates by offsets1 and is kept with little trouble2 as it will flourish in almost any soil1 and will flower1 if set in any part of the hot-house1 so as not to interrupt its growth1 the blossoms being produced only from the summit4 ,although with us the stem is permanent1 as with some others of the same natural habit1 yet it cannot1 we think1 with propriety be considered as either a tree or shrub1 but rather herbaceous4 ,some contention1 at first1 arose whether this plant should be referred to the present ,genus2 which was formed1 by the younger ,linnus1 from a plant a native of
