More than 50 tropical Asian and Australian climbing or trailing evergreen shrubs, bearing thick, opposite lvs.,and odd, often showy tls. in umbel-like clusters. Corolla rotate, 5-lobed, thick and n in appearance : crown of 5 thick and depressed fleshy appendages: pollen-masses 10, short, fixed by their base in pairs to the 5 glands of the stigma: follicles acuminate, smooth: stems twining,or climbin by means of roots. Hoyas are summer-blooming plants, of comparatively easy culture. They need an intermediate or warm tem- perature. Let them rest or remai; (50° in a dryish place), but start them into growth wards spring. In the summer they plunged in the border, but better results are to be ex- pected, as a rule, by keeping them in pots in the con- servatory. In their growing and blooming season, give plenty of sun and air. They propagate by cuttings of the top growth in spring, and also by layering. The lat- ter method is particularly adaptable to H. carnosa and other species which climb by means of roots. A. P.
