A native of Hawaii, its deep, penetrating aroma offers a possible solution to the allegedly romantic tendencies of the natives. Coming into bloom about eight oclock in the evening, the plant stays bright and fresh until the first of dawn appears. During the winter the plant is taken into the greenhouse. Last year it was necessary to cut off the top to get it in the building. Thus, the maternal plant is only about ten feet tall. The top has been planted separately, and several buds have already appeared.
