Of easy culture, if given plenty of difflused light in the grow- ing season, and plants are not allowed to become tall and leggy. It is well to grow new plants frequently. Prop, by seeds when obtainable, or by cuttings of partially ripened wood at any season. They bloom iu autumn, but can readily be brought into flower at other seasons. When done blooming, the plants should be rested in an intermediate temperature, kept rather dry, but nob al- lowed to wilt or shrivel. Require treatment of Justicias, and thrive along with Allamandas and Poinsettias. L. H. B. All Aphelandras like a stovehouse temperature and a light leaf-mold, with a liberal proportion of sand. They should not be kept very wet in winter. They propagate readily from cuttings and seeds. The leading trade names are A. aurantiaca, clirysops. Fascinator, jRxzlii. A. clirysops is one of the handsomest of the group. H. A. SlEBKECHT. A. Fls. in shades of yellow. Chamissom&na, Nees. {A. punct&ta, Bull). Lvs. ob- long-lanceolate or elliptic-lanc
