Text Appearing Before Image:
bring on a state of biishiness; it will take atotally different aspect, and develop yearly those splendid heads of flowers ofwhich a specimen is exhibited in our drawing. Some care is additionally requisite in watering the plant. Having rathersmall and scanty foliage, its roots are more exposed to the influence of the sunthan those of many similar shrubs. It must therefore be watched lest the soilbecome hardened in the centre, fall away from the sides of the pot, and thus allowthe passage of water round the edges without ever admitting it into the mass.Still, the poverty of its leaves should not be made a pretext for saturating it withfluid, because this very fact renders evaporation less abundant. Cuttings of the young branches root with tolerable readiness in a sandy soil,under a shaded hand-glass, with the aid of a trifling bottom heat. Oxylohium is derived from oxys, sharp, and lohos, a pod, in reference to the sharppoint that exists at tlie extremity of the seed-pods or legumes.
