This is a pretty genus of succulent plants, requiring
but little water when not in a free-growing state.
They appear to do best in a mixture of loam and
sand. They are very easily increased by cuttings,
which should be taken off, and laid to dry a few
days before planting; they will then root in a few
days. Synonymes: 1. Verea acutißora. 2. V,

at Abo, in Sweden, and author of Travels in
America, 1753. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ericaceoe.
The plants of this genus rank among the most
handsome of our hardy shrubs. They do best
•when grown in a peat soil, though they will grow
in a very sandy loam ; they may be increased by
layers or seeds, and when raised from the latter,
they require the same treatment as that recommended
for Rhododendron.
