Four species. Stove evergreen shrubs, and one variety, L. indica rosea, for the green-house. Cuttings. Peat and loam.

For the culture of L. indica, Mr. R. Reid gives the following directions:- "It should be kept all winter in the green-house, or even the back sheds will do perfectly well, and no water should be given to it. About the middle or latter end of April, it will begin to grow, when the young shoots may be thinned out, and the remainder shortened a little; the plant should then be placed in the stove or vinery, where there is a brisk heat. It will grow vigorously till June, and will then appear as if it had done growing for the season, but in a few weeks, when the young shoots are well ripened, it will make a second push at the extremity of every young shoot. These are the flowering shoots; and by the month of August it will be loaded with its beautiful tresses of purple flowers "-Gard. Chron. On light well drained soils and sheltered locations in Pennsylvania, the Lager-stroemia supports the winter-further south it is seen in great luxuriance, fifteen or twenty feet in height.
