In potting, it should be seen that the outer roots are not too far removed from,the sides of the pots, and the plants ought again to be shifted, as they require it,as soon as the roots reach their limits, or appear through the bole at the bottom. Propagation is performed by cuttings, which arc fit for removal at almost anyseason; but the spring months will be found the best period for the operation.The cuttings should be taken off just below a joint, from which the leaves are tobe cut (and not turn) away. They will root in any moist temperature, if dulycovered with a hand-glass, and shaded. Goltl/ussia was so named in honour of Dr. Goldfuss. a jirofessor of naturalhistory at Bonn on the Rhine. The specific name alludes to the collected arrange-ment of the flowers, as compared with that of G. anisophi/Ua.
