AGALMYLA (from agalma, an ornament, and hule, a wood; the species ornament the woods in which they grow wild). ORD. Gesneraceoe. A small genus of handsome, climbing or radicant herbs. Flowers in axillary fascicles; corolla limb oblique, five-lobed, scarcely two-lipped. Leaves simple, alternate. AGALMYLA staminea, the most generally cultivated species, is best grown in a basket, planted in a compost of rough peat, a little leaf soil, fresh sphagnum moss, and nodules of charcoal. Give an abundance of moisture when growing, which should be lessened after flowering, and allow the plant to rest during winter. It may be planted out on rockwork in the stove. The temperature in summer should not be less than 75deg. by day, and 65deg. by night. Half-ripened cuttings will root freely in heat under a glass. AGALMYLA longistyla (long-styled). fl. crimson. Java, 1873. AGALMYLA staminea (long-stamened).* fl. scarlet, disposed in axillary fascicles; corolla tubular, incurved, with a dilated throat. Summer. l. alternate, oblong, acuminated, denticulated, nearly equal at the base, downy beneath, and on the edges. Stem and petioles hairy. h. 2ft. Java, 1846. Stove species.
