This is a genus of interesting
]>lants, well deserving of a place in every collection.
The hardy kinds will grow well in
the open border, with a slight protection for
the American species in severe, frosty, or rainy
weather. The stove species grow best in a
mixture of leaf-mould and peat, placed in a
hot, damp part of the house wheu in a growing
state ; but like the genus BlUia, after the
plants have lost their leaves, and the roots
become dormant, they require to be kept cool
and dry until the roots begin to push, when
tlxe plants should be repotted, and again placed
in a hot and moist heat. They are all increased
by divisions of the roots. Synonymes :
