handsome when in flower. The stove and
greenhouse kinds are best cultivated in loam
and peat, and cuttings root freely in sand,
under a glass. The frame and hard)^ sorts do
best in peat and sand, or any light sandy soil,
and are increased by cuttings or seeds. The
biennial species must be raised on a hotbed
frame, and when potted off, kept with the
greenhouse plants. The seeds of P. corylifolia
are used by native doctors in India, and considered
stomachic and deobstruent. Synonynies:
