Pavetta (Malabar name of P. indica). Rubiàceae. Tropical shrubs and <br />
small trees closely allied to the brilliant ixoras but less showy, <br />
not often seen but deserving of attention; flowers white or greenish.<br />
<br />
Leaves opposite or ternate, simple, sometimes particolored, stipules <br />
present and joined at base: fls. in mostly terminal bracted corymbs; <br />
calyx top-shaped or bell-shaped, the limb mostly with 4 or 5 <br />
cylindrical or funnel-shaped commonly slender tube, the throat mostly bearded or pubescent, the limb prevailingly 5-parted (rarely 4-parted) into oval or oblong contorted lobes; stamens 4 or sometimes 5, affixed at the mouth of the corolla; style conspicuously exserted, the stigma entire or 2-toothed: fr. a pea-shaped somewhat fleshy 2-pyrenous berry.—One hundred or more species in the tropical and subtropical parts of the Old World, to the Philippines, with recent numerous extensions in Trop. Afr. Only a few of the species are in cult., and these are known as wannhouse or warm temperate plants.<br />
<br />
The pavettas are fine tropical stove evergreens and should be more grown. P. borbonica can be propagated from half-ripened wood, leaving an eye and a leaf attached. These cuttings may be put into 2-inch pots, using a mixture of fibry peat and sand in equal parts. These pots may be plunged in a propagating-bed that has a bottom heat of 80° to 85°. Cover with glass so as to keep a humid atmosphere. It will take some little time before they make roots. Keep shaded and moist until this takes place. When roots are seen in the pots, gradually give more air until they are exposed to the full atmosphere of the house. They may also be propagated by being cut down well to make them throw many young soft cuttings that can be rooted with a brisk bottom heat. P. caffra will root freely from cuttings of young growth, placed where they have plenty of bottom heat. The pots may be plunged in the propagating-bed up to the rims. Keep shaded, moist and close for about a month. The best season for the increase of this class of plants is January to March.—The general culture for P. borbonica is to keep increasing the shifts until they are in 7- or 8-inch pots, using a compost of fibrous loam three parts, fibrous peat two parts, and well-decayed manure one part. Give each pot good drainage. In the spring and summer provide a night temperature of 70°, with 10° to 15° more by day with sun. Supply water when they show dryness of the ball. Keep well syringed. They will need some shade in the summer to keep the foliage perfect. In midwinter the temperature for night may be lowered to about 60°. P. caffra, which is a free bloomer, will need different culture. It should be kept growing by shifting as the plants may require, until they are in 6- or 7-inch pots or larger. For summer culture, treat the same as for P.borbonica only they will not need so much heat, 60° to 65° being sufficient, with 10° more during the day. They will stand pinching to make them bushy. The temperature in the winter should be from 50° to 55°. The following spring give more pot room and grow on the same as before. Give liquid manure at intervals in the grow- big season and by autumn they will show bloom. By giving root room, with liquid feeding and by heading in annually, they will bloom for years. Scale and mealybug thrive on pavettas, and the plants must be carefully watched. (J. J. M. Farrell.)<br />
