PREFACE.

—_—.

THE Editor of the present edition wishes to add to what is stated in the
original Preface as to the objects, purpose, and usefulness of the BOTANICAL
Dictionary, that the rapid and extensive sale of all former issues has
confirmed the opinion expressed by the originator of the work, that his
little volume just met the wants and wishes of the botanical and _horti-
cultural world. |

It was on this account that the late Sir Joseph Paxton contemplated
the publication of a revised edition, and although prevented by illness from
completing his intention, he was yet able to plan and arrange the whole,

_ and to examine the earlier portion of the printed matter, as it issued from

the press ; and before his death, to entrust the completion of the work to the
present writer, who, for nearly forty years, had laboured under his direction
in most of his literary undertakings.

The alterations and additions to the present edition are numerous and
important ; to the abbreviations is added another column, denoting the
average height to which the species attain in their native countries, and

under ordinary cultivation.

The names of the natural orders throughout the work have undergone an
entire revision; and such alterations have been made as appeared consonant
with the present advanced state of botanical knowledge: in this respect, the
arrangement of Dr. Lindley, in his Vegetable Kingdom, has been principally
followed, as being perhaps better known than any other in this country ; and

ertainly appreciated, if not adopted, in every land where botany is culti-
vated and esteemed.
 

iv PREFACE.

 

The form of accentuation has also been changed and rendered as simple as
possible, the sounds being indicated by a single mark instead of the long and
short accents of the former editions, The grave accent (‘) shows that the
vowel over which it is placed should be sounded long, as Fagus, Jambosa ;
and the acute accent (’) that the sound should be short, as Hélcus, Jétropha ;
in some instances, however, the classical accentuation has been made to yield
to the popular pronunciation, of which an instance or two may be quoted.
Lycopédium (classical), Lycopddium (popular); Chenopddium (classical)
Chenopddium (popular). The grave accent (‘), then, indicates that the
vowel over which it is placed is to be sounded by itself, while the acute
accent (’) denotes that the vowel is to be sounded in conjunction with the
following consonant,

The Editor has to acknowledge the courtesy of those botanists who have
kindly furnished him with information on various points, and especially he
would mention the valuable assistance rendered by Dr. Masters, who kindly
undertook to look over the proof-sheets before they finally went to press.

In conclusion, the Editor hopes that the present edition of the BoranicaL
Dictionary will be as favourably received by the public as any of the
preceding issues; great care having been bestowed upon its revision, and
much new and useful matter added, including the names of several thousands

of new plants, which have been introduced into this country during the last
twenty years.

CHATSWORTH,
May, 1868.
PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

—_4+-—_—

WHEN an author offers to the public a work, the greater part of the information
contained in which is already available in detached fragments or other forms, his
first duty is to exhibit the propriety of its publication ; and prove, beyond question,
that he has been instigated to his task by no unworthy desire of fame, but by a
distinct and certified persuasion of its demand and utility.

Happily, in the present case, we are enabled to court scrutiny into our motives,
being fully prepared to explain and justify them. During the numerous interviews
enjoyed by us with the leading patrons of floriculture, the want of a pocket ctom-
panion, such as that now furnished, has ever been especially and forcibly urged.
There are, it is true, Catalogues, Encyclopzedias, Lexicons, and Cultural Directories,
all highly valuable in their respective spheres, and essential adjuncts to a gardener’s
or amateur’s library : but they are too elaborate, verbose, technical, or uninteresting,
to be readily and thoroughly appropriated ; the expense, also, of several is neces-
sarily enormous, and beyond the means of the great majority of those who thirst
-after botanical and floricultural literature; and no single one, much less a set,
embracing all the subjects of this Dictionary, is conveniently portable, or can ever
be carried, without discomfort, beyond the porch of the proprietor’s domicile.

Comprehensive compendiums, in which scientific and popular details are abridged,
combined, and thus brought within the pecuniary reach as well as easy examination
of those whose income and time are subjected to many other more pressing
exactions, are highly commendable if attentively and clearly arranged ; but their
usefulness is in proportion to the precision and accuracy of the manner in which
they are compiled.

Tur Pooxer BorantcaL DicTionary, then, has been prepared solely as an instant
resource and standard of consultation ; and for this purpose will be found invaluable
to the professors and lovers of horticulture, in all its branches and of every grade.
Within its columns is compressed all the most important information relative to
admired plants which its small size and avowed design would admit.. With this in
his pocket, the possessor or cultivator of plants may perambulate his own garden,
visit those of his friends or public establishments, and attend floricultural exhibi-
tions, in the full assurance that if any particular object engage his attention, he may
at once derive every fact of interest respecting both it and its congeners which is
yet known in this country, and form an idea of the facility or difficulty, and con-
sequent expense, attending its conservation. Such is, cursorily, the prime purport
of this publication, and the aim of its author. To supersede the necessity for
 

vi PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.

 

attaching the meaning of every specific appellation, and at the same time to afford
the most ample means for acquiring a knowledge of all the phrases peculiar to the
science, a voluminous glossary has been incorporated ; wherein, in addition to the
more abstruse Latin terms, a number of ordinary words that are used botanically
in a peculiar sense are fully explained.

One inestimable quality of a popular synopsis of any sort, is the discreet abridg-
ment of uninteresting matter, and detailed record of merely the most attractive
particulars. On the judicious selection and proper apportionment of desirable
intelligence, the value of a summary entirely rests. In this respect we have much
to claim for the volume to which the present address is prefixed. , On account of
the extreme scarcity, or non-existence in Britain, of many plants, considerable
perplexity has been experienced in assigning to each species its due share of honour.
For this reason, if a few plants are unjustly elevated, and others improperly debased,
some little allowance may fairly be expected. Those indigenous species which are
ranked with the ornamental sorts, are not to be regarded as worthless because of
their commonness, but may be cultivated with advantage in the more secluded and
sylvan flower borders.

To take a general glance at the arrangement and composition of this DrcTIONARY,
it will be better to show more lucidly the intent and application of each separate
point, and afterwards advert to the abbreviations. Compactness and facile porta-
bility being the primary and principal elements of the design, condensation of the
letter-press was an inevitable result. On this score, however, we have just grounds
for eulogising our printers, as nothing can be more beautiful or perfect than the’
mechanical execution of the work ; while the objection that might attach to the
minuteness of the type, is completely removed by its exceeding clearness.

Under the head of each genus, besides the authority for its name, its origin, and
position, both in the Linnawan and Natural System, a concise outline is given of its
most striking members, with adequate instructions for their cultivation, and obser-
vations on their particular medicinal or useful properties. In conformity to the
principle of giving prominence to only the most interesting subjects, the worthless
genera are passed over with a slight statement of their insignificance ; and to preveht
repetition, reference is occasionally made to other genera for directions on treatment,
when the habits of both closely correspond. For all the suggestions on culture, we
hold ourselves, for the most part, responsible ; the notes in those instances where
we have no personal cognizance being extracted from the best authors, with the
usual acknowledgments. Immediately succeeding the above-named sketches, a list
of specific synonymes is furnished, with figures of allusion affixed to each, and
similar ones to the species they represent, by which the observer may instantly
perceive what names are applied to the same plant, that in the last or descriptive
text being always the most authentic.

In the enumeration of genera and species, we are indebted chiefly to Mr. Geo.
Don’s General System of Gardening and Botany, Dr. Lindley’s Introduction to the
Natural System, and Mr. Loudon’s Arboretum et Fruticetum Britannicum, comparing
these with all other catalogues extant,—of which Loudon’s Hortus Britannicus is
the principal and best,—and adopting such readings as are most obviously correct.
We rely greatly on our own rigid research into these matters, having been engaged

in it for several years, but still more so on a careful revision of both MSS. and
printed proofs, undertaken by Dr. Lindley in the most disinterested and kind
manner. Nevertheless, such is the typographical diminutiveness, that we cannot
imagine but some errors have eluded us. Should it reach another edition, we shall
have great pleasure in effecting any emendations which our correspondents or friends
may discover and communicate. It will be manifest that two distinct courses have
been followed with regard to the ornamental and trivial species. Possessing nothing
to recommend them to notice, or to render the enrolment of their habits, native’
‘country, &c., at all desirable, we have arranged the latter in aggregated groups;
after their more interesting allies where these exist, and directly following the
general remarks on those genera which comprise no ornamental species. On the
description of each meritorious plant included in the columns opposite its appellation,
we shall descant more largely, when considering the abbreviations.

Respecting the number of scientific terms herein explained, we may be allowed
to say that no other popular glossary contains such a copious collection. Their
explication is in exact accordance with the views of the most learned botanists,
merely being reduced to dimensions which best .comport with simplicity and
conciseness.

Considering the immense field which this volume occupies, the accentuation of
generic, specific, and all purely botanical names that are not Anglicised, must be
regarded as a highly valuable characteristic. By the extreme perspicuity of the
marks employed, their full and universal adaptation, and the fact that they were all
supplied by the first botanist in England, (Dr. Lindley,) the botanic student or
other assiduous examiner will here meet with a fund of accurate instruction in this
particular, to which only the most laboured and extremely expensive publication
can at all pretend.

It might be assumed that the signs used are sufficiently common to require no
comment ; but, for the benefit of the less informed, we shall just show the manner
in which they apply. In the first place, the vowel in each word over which the
primary accent occurs, sustains all the emphasis of the syllabic pronunciation,
independently of the real nature of the sign. Further, the employment of the long
quantity (~) or the short quantity (“) simply denotes that the vowel above which
they are placed is to be sounded long and broadly, or short and abruptly. To vary
our expression, the short vowel is perpetually pronounced in conjunction with the
next consonant, and the long one has its own distinct and final sound, as if the
letter were doubled, but the voice rested on each. In all cases when the last
syllable but one is marked long (~), the accent falls on that syllable ; and when
the last syllable but one -is marked short (“), the accent falls on the last syllable
but two. Thus Romantis would be accented Roménus, and tricdlér would be
accented tricolor, although the i on which the accent is placed is short. It is
extremely important to bear this in mind.

To reduce the work to the smallest practicable size, it has been found requisite
to abridge the language conveying many of the details, and that this may be rightly
comprehended, we shall now enter on its elucidation. First, the numerical figures
which follow the recognised specific names in the general list, and such as precede
the synonymes, have, as before hinted, a direct connection with each other,
 

viii PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION,

 

establishing the identity. Thus, in page 1, under the genus Acacra, the synonyme
“1. A. acicularis” is but another appellation for “A. Brownei 1,” in the ensuing
text ; ‘2. Mimosa tortuosa,” is synonymous with “ A. Burmanniana 2 ;” and so on,
in like manner, throughout the whole. Next, the authorities for the generic names
are very often shortened, and a list of all those, with the country in which they rose
to celebrity, will be subjoined. Again, the descriptive peculiarities of species are
classed in seven columns, in which the colours of the flowers,—the month during
which they commonly blossom,—their habitude, whether as concerns the temperature
they receive, their duration, or general nature,—their native climate, and the year
in which they were first introduced to Britain,—are all duly registered. Where
either or several of these circumstances are omitted, it is to be inferred that they
have not been accurately ascertained. In the case of Epiphytes, Palms, and Grasses,
they are simply noted as such, since their habits are universally the same. All
other trifling particulars are regularly and efficiently interpreted in the catalogue
of abbreviations.

Having thus specified the objects, classification, and utility of the work, we have
only to commend it to the kind indulgence of the public, convinced that, whatever
may be its failings—and in such an extensive compilation some defects must
naturally be anticipated—they are neither glaring, momentous, nor, notwithstanding
the smallness of the type, equal to those of any similar production. To the
gardener, and all who cultivate or delight in acquainting themselves with plants,
either for enrichment or amusement ; but emphatically to such persons as wish to
study the nature and history of vegetation in the garden, where alone they can
hope these features to be permanently impressed on the memory, the Boranrcan
Pocket Dictionary has claims which nothing at present existing or likely to be
issued can supplant or diminish.

a point, in Celtic. The name is used to desig-
nate this genus on account of the wood having
formerly been much sought after for manufac-
turing into heads of pikes and lances. Linn.
23, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Acerdcee. For the most
part beautiful trees, of considerable size, gene-
rally employed in forming avenues or the back
of shrubberies. The soil they delight most to
grow in is open sandy loam, in which also
cuttings will strike freely in the open air; or
by layers put down in the autumn they may
be increased; but all the best plants are
obtained from sced, which should be sown
soon after gathering. From the sap of A.
saccharinum and other species, the North
Americans make a considerable quantity of
very good sugar. Synonymes; 1, A. erio-

Acuimrnrs, P. Browne. A word of unknown
meaning. Linn. 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Gesne-
racece. The above name was originally given
to two species by Dr. Patrick Browne in his
History of Jamaica, one of which has been
long known in our gardens as Trevirdna cocct-
nea, or Cyrilla pulchélla ; the original name
has been restored by De Candolle in his Pro-
dromus. The recent acquisitions to this ele-
gant and free-flowering genus, rank amongst
the most beautiful of our conservatory plants.
For cultivation see Trevirdna: they are propa-
gated by cuttings, or by the imbricated buds
which they produce underground and on the
stems. Synonymes: 1, Trevirana coccinea,
Cyrilla pulchélia ; 2, A. heterophgila, ignés-

Acuras, Linn. The Greek name for the pear,
or from ac, meaning a point, in Celtic, in
allusion to the stiff spines with which the tree
is covered. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Sapota-

little merit, but in the West Indies the fruit
produced by some of the species is much es-
teemed. A. sapdta yields a fruit as large as a
quince, the flesh of which is as yellow as a
carrot ; it has an agreeable smell, and very
rich taste; the seeds, two in number, are ape-
rient and diuretic ; rich loamy soil ; cuttings,

Palmacee, This genus comprehends a portion
of those majestic species of palms which, by
their towering stems and gigantic foliage, soar
to the height of thirty or. forty feet, and give
a feature of exquisite grandeur to the character

light sandy loam ; and to grow them well, an
atmosphere very moist and warm is indispens-
able. They are increased from suckers. A.
aculedta is reported to have a trunk the size of
a man’s body, and the leaves prickly and longer
than those of the Cocos. It produces a fruit
the shape and size of a crab, with a thin,
sweetish, astringent pulp, within which is a
nut inclosing a white sweet eatable kernel.

Or. 8, Nat. Or. Sterculiacece., The largest tree
‘in the world is the Adansonia or Baobab-tree,
the trunk of which has been found with a
diameter of thirty-feet; but its height is not
in proportion. ‘It is emollient and mucil-
aginous in all its parts. The leaves dried and
reduced to powder constitute Lalo, a favourite
article with the Africans, which they mix daily
with their food, for the purpose of diminishing
the excessive perspiration to which they are
subject in those climates, and even Europeans
find it serviceable in cases of diarthcea, fevers,
and other maladies, ‘The fruitis, perhaps, the
most useful part of the tree. Its pulp is
slightly acid and agreeable, and frequently
eaten; while the juice is expressed from it,
mixed with sugar, and constitutes a drink,
which is valued as a specific in putrid and

estilential fevers.” —Hooker, Bot. Mag. 2792.

bursts, and emits a powder of a bright orange
colour. It does not appear to be materially
injurious to the grains. Before the cuticle which
covers the fungus bursts, it has much the

#Ascuuus, Linn. The name is given to a kind of
oak which bears an edible fruit, and is derived
from esca, food or nourishment. Linn. 7, Or.
1, Nat. Or. Sapinddcece. Showy trees, of con-
siderable magnitude, well adapted for planting
singly in parks or lawns, -having at all times a
pleasing appearance, but more especially when
in flower.
they may be increased either by layering,
grafting, or budding, and some produce good
seed, by which they can be with advantage
increased. The bark has been used success-
fully in intermittent fevers, and with good
success in dyeing yellow colours. Synonymes :

AcaricAcEe®. <A class of fungals resembling
the common mushroom (Agaricus campestris).
AcA&ricus, Linn. Derived from Agaria, the
name of a town in Sarmatia. Linn. 24, Or. 9,
Nat. Or, Agaricacec. A more extensive genus
than this is not known in the whole vegetable
kingdom. Some species, as the common
mushroom, A. campéstris, A. vaginatus, &c.,
are well known for the wholesomeness of the
food which is prepared from them. Others,
as A, muscartus, A. necator, &., are very
dangerous poisons ; indeed, the latter quality
exists more or less in so many species, and
these resemble those that are wholesome so
nearly, as to render it advisable to be exceed-
ingly cautious in the use of any, for the most
dreadful effects are well known to have resulted
from want of caution in this respect. We
shall here briefly notice the cultivation of the
common mushroom in houses erected for the
purpose, referring the reader for details to
Loudon's Encyclopedia of Gardening, and other
works published on the subject. Collect a suf-
cient quantity of fresh horse-droppings as free
from straw as possible, lay them in an open shed
in a heap or ridge; here it will heat violently,
and in consequence should be now and then
turned for sweetening ; after this has subsided
to moderation, it will be in a fit state for forming
into a bed. In the process of making the bed,
the dung should be put on in small quantities,
and beat firmly and equally together until it is
the required size; in this state let it remain
until the highest degree of heat to which it is
capable of coming is ascertained, which may
be readily done by inserting a heat-stick, and
pressing it with the hand: if not found
violent, the spawn may be broken up into
pieces of two or three inches square, and put

 

into holes about three inches in depth, by six
inches asunder, over its surface: after this
throw a very small quantity of well-broken
droppings over the whole. In this state let
it remain for two or three weeks, when a loamy
soil may be put on, about an inch or an inch
and a-half thick, and gently patted with the
spade. If the temperature of the house be
kept about sixty or sixty-five degrees, mush-
rooms may be expected in six weeks. It is
not well to water the beds much, particularly
when bearing ; it is much better to throw a
little water over the path and flues, which will
both improve the colour and flavour of the
mushrooms without being attended with those
bad effects frequently resulting from watering,
viz., that of destroying the young stock, and
turning brown those already fit for table.

it into flower is to apply bottom heat, and
treat it as the pine-apple. All the species
thrive well in rich loamy soil, mixed with a
very little rotten dung, decayed vegetable
mould, and brick rubbish ; they require but
little water, and are propagated by suckers
from the root. Synonymes: 1, A. spicata ; 2,

may be compared to a gigantic stag’s-horn
sumach; it has very large leaves, unequally
pinnate, with footstalks from one to two feet
in length ; and numerous flowers in a termi-
nating pedicel, which exhale a disagreeable
odour. The tree grows very fast, and on very
poor soil, especially if it be calcareous. If
the bark be wounded a resinous juice flows
out, which hardens in a few days. The wood
is hard, heavy, glossy, like satin, and suscept-
ible of a very fine polish. It is propagated by
cuttings of the roots. In general with us the
trees bear only male flowers, but in France it
has produced both male and female flowers,
and fruit twice in ten years.”"—Loudon’s Ency.

bed, and when old enough, potted off singly,
observing to give plenty of pot-room, good rich
soil, and water. 4. obtusifolia is diuretic.

AMARYLLIDACES. An order of beautiful bul-
bous plants which have excited admiration in
all ages.

AMARYLLIS, Linn. The name of a nymph cele-
brated by the poet Virgil. Zinn. 6, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Amaryllidacew. ‘This interesting and
beautiful genus of bulbous plants may be suc-
cessfully grown in the following manner :—The
bulbs of the stove species should be turned
out of the pots in autumn, and laid on a shelf
or other dry place till spring, when they should
be potted and introduced into the hothouse,
giving them, as they progress, plenty of water.
A. reticulata and striatifolia will not bear
turning out, but flower better by remaining
in their pots all the year. The greenhouse
species must also be turned out of the pots
and dried, and in the spring potted, and en-
couraged to flower. The soil should comprise
equal portions of turfy loam and peat, with
a fair quantity of sand; the pots should be
drained well. They are increased by offsets
from the bulbs. Synonymes: 1, Hippedstrilm

known to Dr. Wallich through the medium
of a Mr. Crawford, in August, 1836, who
originally discovered it near Martaban, in the
E. Indies ; the former gentleman afterwards
found it, as he himself states, ‘ growing near
a decayed Kioum (a sort of monastery) to-
gether with numerous individuals of Jonasia
Asdca and Mésua férrea; it was profusely
ornamented with pendulous racemes of large
vermilion-coloured blossoms, unequalled in
the flora of the E. Indies, and perhaps not
surpassed in magnificence and elegance in any
part, of the world.”—Wallich’s Plante Asia-

strewed even at a distance with its flowers,
which are daily offered to the images in the
adjoining caves. He transported it to the
Botanic Garden, Calcutta, where it was seen by
Mr. J. Gibson, plant collector for the Duke
of Devonshire, who very fortunately succeeded
in bringing a plant alive to the collection at
Chatsworth. It delights in a rich strong loam,
and may be propagated by cuttings of the half-
ripened wood, planted in sand, under a glass,
in heat, by ringing the stems of the old plant,

The plants that yield this very superior fruit,
so much esteemed for its sweet aromatic
flavour, were first cultivated in this country
at Sir Matthew Dicken’s, at Richmond, where
fruit was first produced in 1715. There are
now a great many distinct kinds described in
our garden lists: of these only a few are worthy
of extensive cultivation—such as the common
broad-leaved Queen, Ripley Queen, Lemon
Queen, Black Jamaica, New and Old Provi-
dence, Antigua, Montserrat, Cayenne, Roths-
childs, and a few others. The methods of
cultivation are various, but pot culture as
practised for so many years is now almost
everywhere superseded by bedding out, which
is much less trouble, and also furnishes larger
fruit in a shorter space of time. By this sys-
tem, young plants are merely planted in a bed
composed of open sandy loam well charred
by a wood fire, and mixed with a small portion
of deer’s dung, sheep’s dung, or very rotten
horse dung. The bed is heated by hot-water
pipes passing through a hot-air chamber be-
neath, and of sufficient power to supply the
soil with a heat of 75 or 80 degrees. There
must also be sufficient surface-pipes to per-
fectly heat the air of the house or pit. In fine
weather admit air the first thing in the morning
(say seven o’clock), and close the house early
in the afternoon (say three o'clock); when
the paths should be watered and the plants

a capsule, which splits into four valves, coher-
ing at their ends by means of the persistent
lid; it agrees with Sphdgnwm in having no
footstalk, but in its room an elongated recep-
tacle, and appears to be a transition from
Andreeadceee to Hepdtice. This is, however,
only apparent. All the species are natives of
rocks or mountains, and are remarkable for
their nearly black, or dark-brown colour.—

This very singular plant has the property of
forcing the fruit or pods as they increase in
size into the earth, where they ripen their
seeds, hence the trivial name earth-nut. 1t
grows in sandy loam singly in pots, and is
roultiplied from offsets. In South Carolina the
seed is roasted, and used as chocolate; it fur-
ther affords a thin limpid oil, proper for lamps,
a purpose to which it is applied in Cochin-
China,

with the protection of a mat or two in very
severe weather, and when got pretty large will
no doubt be perfectly hardy. Rich open loam
suits them well; and propagation may be
effected in the same manner as recommended

most beautiful genus of -palms succeeds best in
light sandy loam, and can be increased only
from seedd, The well-known Betel Nut is the
fruit of A. Catech2, and remarkable for its
narcotic or intoxicating power ; from the fruit
is prepared a kind of spurious Catecha. It
seems, however, doubtful whether the intoxi-
cating effect of the Betel Nut, which is cut in
slices, folded in the aromatic leaves of the
Betel pepper Nut (Piper Betel), and chewed in
the mouth like tobacco, is not owing to the
Piper_leaf, in which it is wrapped when eaten,
rather than to any special property of its own.

This as a shrub is showy, but its flowers have
little beauty. In a warm situation it grows
freely, in common soil, and ripened cuttings
soon take, as do also layers. It produces eat-
able berries.

ARMENtaca, Tournefort. Named from the apri-

Or. 1, Nat. Or. Drupacee. A genus of valu-
able fruit trees, as is at once apparent from its
containing the well-known apricot. The sre-
cies all thrive well in a rich loamy soil, and are
best increased by budding on kind free-growing
plum stocks. A. vulgaris, or common apricot,
pies a round, yellow, firmish-fleshed fruit,
ittle less esteemed than the peach or nectarine ;
it is used fresh from the tree at the dessert, and
is also made into jellies, preserves, &c. ; from
the clarified juice the Chinese make lozenges,
which, dissolved by water, yield a grateful
beverage ; the nut yields a kind of oil, and the
young shoots a fine golden colour to wool.

genus are pretty, others merely ornamental,
while some are wholly uninteresting; their
silvery leaves have a showy effect in rock-

they growin almost any soil, and are increased
readily from divisions, cuttings, and seeds. A.

Arthrophylium of Blume is a genus of Aralia-

rived from arthron, a joint, and phyllon, a
leaf; in reference to the jointed leaf-stalks.

genus so named by Bojer belongs to Crescen-

in others, however, it is extremely poisonous,

ArtocaArrus, Linn. From artos, bread, and
carpos, fruit; in allusion to the well-known
name and uses of the bread-fruit. Zinn. 21,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Artocarpacece. To this genus
belongs the bread-fruit tree of the South Sea
Islands. They are difficult to cultivate in this
country ; a light rich loamy soil is best adapted
to them. Sweet says, ‘‘they have been gene-
rally treated too tenderly, and not allowed
sufficient air. They appear to be of the same
nature as the fig, to which they are nearly al-
lied. Large cuttings root freely in a pot of
sand, plunged under a hand-glass, in a moist
heat, with all their leaves entire ; if the leaves
are shortened, it is a great chance if they suc-
ceed.” For further particulars respecting this
very valuable genus, see Loudon’s Encyclopedia

chiaceew. This isa remarkable genus of dwarf
plants, on account of their curious flowers,
which are frequently overlooked among the
leaves ; it is best to plant them near the front
of borders, on account of their dwarf charac-
ter; any common soil suits them, and portions
of the root make young plants. The leaves
and roots of A. ewropeum are emetic, cathar-
tic, and diuretic.

Ascukpras, Linn, The Greek name of the Ais-

Or, Asclepiadacce. This is a genus of tall-
growing herbaceous and shrubby plants, which
thrive best in peat, or any very light soil.
They require a good deal of room to show their
characters, and are readily propagated by seeds,
or dividing the roots. A. syriaca is very odori-
ferous, and in Canada, when in flower, charms
the traveller, especially when passing through
woods in the evening. The French there eat
the tender shoots in spring, as we do asparagus.
The natives make a sugar of the flowers, gather-
ing them in the morning, whon they are covered
with dew, and collect the cotton from the pods
to fill their beds. On account of the silkiness
of this cotton, Parkinson calls it Virginian
silk. The roots of A. dectémbens are diapho-
retic and sudorific, and have the singular pro-
perty of exciting general perspiration, without
increasing the heat of the body ; it is used in
Virginia against pleurisy. A. ¢wberdsa is used
in the United States as a mild cathartic, and
as a remedy for a variety of disorders. Syno-

A. cximium ; they grow about three feet high,
and thrive well in sandy peat soil; the pots

Acanthacee. ‘This is a handsome herbaceous
greenhouse plant, seeds of which were sent to
the Horticultural Society by Mr. M‘Culloch,
one of the gardeners to His Highness the
Pacha of Egypt. If care is taken to reduce
the vigour of the leaves, by not giving -the
plant too much shade and moisture, it becomes
very handsome ; but if it is permitted to run
to leaf too much, its beauty is considerably im-
paired.”—Bot. Reg. Synonyme : Barléria ton-

AsrerAcem. A large order of plants bearing

 

compound flowers, and generally known as
Composite.

Asver, Linneus. From aster, a star; the
flowers resemble little stars from the rays of
their circumference. Linn. 19, Or. 2, Nat.
Or. Asteracee. Many species of this extensive
genus are stately and handsome plants, such
as A, puniceus, pulchéllus, &c.: the expanded
flowers, which appear in autumn when others
are over, have heen compared to a star, from
the numerous rays of the circumference ; they
succeed in any soil or situation, and the her-
baceous kinds increase abundantly from
division. A. Argophgllus is a very rapid-
growing species, and forms an ornamental tree
when planted in the border of a conservatory :
its leaves have also a fine fragrance resembling
musk. Synonymes: 1, A. pumilus. 2, A.

Astrapa&a, Lindley. Named from astrape,
lightning, bright colour of the flowers. Linn.
16, Or. 7, Nat. Or. Sterculiacee. These are
splendid plants, especially 4. Wallichit, which
may be considered one of the finest plants
that ever was introduced ; when loaded with
its magnificent flowers, we think nothing can
exceed its grandeur; there are other species
in the collections about London, but we have
not yet seen their flowers; they grow freely
in any rich soil, or a mixture of loam and
peat suits them very well; young cuttings
planted in mould, and placed under a hand
glass in heat, will soon strike root. Syno-

Barsamina, Rivinus. Called balassan by the
Arabs, from which most probably the name
balsamina has sprung. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Balsamindcee. That beautiful and popu-
lar annual the garden balsam, with its white,
red, pink, puss: lilac, and finely-variegated
carnation-like flowers, belongs to this genus.
All the species are ornamental, and may be
grown with success by the following mode of
treatment, recommended in Don’s Miller’s Gard.
Dic. :—‘‘ The seeds of these plants should be
sown on a moderate hotbed, in spring, and
when the plants are about two or three inches.
high, they should be planted in separate small
pots, taking care to shade them until they
have taken fresh root, replacing them in the
hotbed, after which they should have a mode-
rate share of free air admitted to them when
the weather is favourable, to prevent their
being drawn up tall and weak ; they should
then be shifted from size to size of pots, until
the plants have grown the size required, and
when in flower they may be placed in the
greenhouse, where they will make a very
showy appearance, and seed freely.” A light,
very rich soil, composed of rotten dung, loam,
and leaf mould, with a little sand, suits them
best, plentifully watered. They do not root
readily by cuttings; but may be increased
abundantly from seeds, which in general ripen.
The juice of the balsam used with alum is
employed by the Japanese to dye their nails
red. Synonyme: 1, Impatiens balsamina. See
Momordica.

This genus contains the bamboo-cane; the
species are interesting, and in rich loamy soil
they grow rapidly to a great height in our
stoves if well watered ; they increase by off-
sets. B. arundinacea is very useful for a
very great variety of domestic purposes; in
the I. Indies, cottages are almost entirely
made of it, bridges, boxes, cups, baskets,
mats, paper,.and masts for boats, are also made
of it. It is likewise employed for fences for
gardens, &c., and it is commonly used instead.
of pipes for conveying water. The substance
called tabasher, is a secreted siliceous matter,
found at the joints of the bamboo. See Ifelo-
cénna and Nastus.

BAnxsia, Robert Brown. In honour of Sir
Joseph Banks, Bart. Pres. R. 8S. ; a distin-
guished patron of science in general, parti-
cularly Natural History. Zinn. 4, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Proteacee. This is a handsome and in-
teresting genus. The species, to succeed well,
must be treated in the following manner re-
commended by Sweet. ‘The pots must be
well drained, which should be done in the
following manner :—-place a piece of potsherd
about half way over the hole at the bottom of
the pot, then lay another piece against it that
it may be hollow, afterwards put some smaller
pieces all around them, and some more broken
very small on the top of these. All plants
belonging to the Proteacee should be drained
in the same manner, as the roots are very fond
of running amongst the broken potsherds, and
there is not so much danger of their being
overwatered ; care must be taken not to let
them flag for want of water, as they seldom
recover if allowed to get very dry ; they should
also be placed in an airy part of the green-
house when in-doors, as nothing is more bene-
ficial to them than a free circulation of air.
Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult
to root, but they will root readily if properly
managed; let them be well Panel before
they are taken off; then cut them ata joint,
and plant them in pots of sand, without
shortening any of the leaves, except on the
part that is planted in the sand, where they
should be taken off quite close, the less depth
they are planted in the pots the better, if they
only stand firm, when the sand is well closed
round them: then place them under hand-
glasses in the propagating house, but not
plunge them in heat, the glasses must be
frequently taken off to give them air, and dry
them, or they are apt to damp off ; when they
are rooted, the svoner they are potted off in
small pots the better, as the sand is liable to
canker their roots, if left too long in it; when
potted off they should be placed in a close
frame, but not on heat, as a bottem-heat will
destroy their roots, when they must be hard-
ened to the air by degrees. Plants raised in
this way have better roots, grow faster, and
flower sooner, than plants raised from seeds :
in raising them from seeds, they should be
sown in the same kind of soil as the plants
are grown in, and placed in the greenhouse,
or if it is in summer they will come up sooner,
if placed out in the open air; they will soon
make their appearance, when they should be
potted off in small pots, for if left in the seed
pots too long they are apt to die, and are more

 

difficult to move with safety.” Synonymes: 1,

Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convolvulacee. The
species of this genus are strong free-growing
plants, requiring room to spread, and, being
tuberous-rooted, should be kept dry when in
a torpid state. Light rich soil suits them
best ; and half-ripened cuttings root readily
under a hand-glass in moderate heat. Syno-

Lycoperdaceee, A very curious plant, found
only in Britain, where it is very rare. The
volva or wrapper, is about the size of a hen’s
egg, originally in three slightly coriaceous
layers, hollow internally, which rises suddenly
to its full height of about twelve inches ; the
stalk carries up on its summit full half the
innermost layer of the volva, which is white
and smooth within, and covered externally
with copious brown sporules, intermixed with
fibre—phallotdes.

Orchidacee. A very pretty species, well de-
serving a place in every collection ; it some-
what resembles a Maxillaria, with a pendulous
raceme of flowers from the base of the pseudo-
bulbs; the sepals and petals are brownish-
purple within, green without, and a white:
lJabellum. It requires the same treatment as_
Stanhopea, and other similar genera. ;

Showy interesting species, some of them par-
ticularly so when in bloom ; they succeed well
in a mixture of sand, loam, and peat; and
cuttings taken when the wood is neither ripe
nor very young (observing to dress off the
leaves), and planted in sand, under a glass
in a moist htat, will strike root. The dried
leaves and young buds of B. tomentdsa are
prescribed in dysenteric affections ; the bark
of B. variegata is used in tanning and drying
leather, and that of B. racemdsa is employed
in making ropes. Synonymes: 1, B. anguina ;

fusion during summer, are succeeded by an
abundance of large, globular, reddish-yellow,
eatable fruit, of an insipid though not un-
pleasant taste. It succeeds best in common
garden loam, and is easily increased by seeds
or layers. The best situation for it is against
a south wall, where it grows freely, and looks
well. Synonyme: 1, Cornus grandis. See

shrubs, inhabitants of hot climates. The
leaves are eo pinnate, ternate, or con-
jugate ; the flowers in panicles, large and hand-
some, of various colours, red, blue, yellow, or
white, and eminently beautiful. The stove
sorts grow freely in loam and peat, and young
cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. The
species grow in any soil, but will not flower
well unless the situation be warm ; they are
increased by cuttings of the roots, by layers,
or by young cuttings in a gentle heat, under a
hand-glass or frame. B. rdédicans is a well-
known much-admired species, capable of living
in the open air in this country against a wall.
The young shoots of B. chirire are sometimes
manufactured into wicker-work. Synonymes:

This is called Akee Tree, and is a plant much
esteemed in Africa and the W. Indies on ac-
count of its fruit, which is as large as a goose’s
egg, and of a reddish or yellow colour ; the
aril is eatable, of a sub-acid flavour, and con-
sidered very grateful, particularly in the W.
Indies. It grows in loam and peat ; and cut-
tings, with the leaves not taken off, root in
sand, under a glass.

BompBacem. See Sterculiacee.

Bompax, Linn. Thenameis derived from bom-
bax, cotton ; in allusion to the wool in the
pods. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Sterculiacen.
The genus is trivially named the Silk Cotton
Tree, and the species thrive well in a sandy
loamy soil; half-ripened cuttings taken off at
a joint, and planted in sand, under a glass, in
a moist heat, root readily. The seeds of many
of the species are enveloped in long hairs, like
those of the true Cotton ; it is found, however,
that they cannot be manufactured, in conse-
 

BON

quence of no adhesion between the hairs. The
woolly coat of the seeds of some of the species
is employed in different countries for stuffing
cushions, &c. The trunk of B. Ceiba is spiny,
and said to be one of the highest trees in both
Indies ; the wood is light and of little value,
but is sometimes used for canoes. The wood
cut into boards, and steeped some time in
lime-water, will endure the action of the air
many years. The cotton in which the seed is
enveloped, is used hy the poor inhabitants for

may be seen in bloom at almost any time of
the year. They grow best in sandy peat
mixed with a few broken shreds, and the pots,
which should not be large, must be judiciously
drained, as the plants are very liable to suffer
from over watering. Cuttings taken ata joint,
planted in sand, and placed under a glass in a
frame, observing to dry up the damp now and
then, will, if carefully tended, make roots.

BrAssica, Linn. From bresic, the Celtic name
of the cabbage. Linn. 15, Or. 2. Nat. Or.
Brassicacew. In this genus we have the well-
known cabbage, with its many varieties, and
many other familiar potherbs and roots. It is
wonderful to look upon the common cabbage
(B. oleracea) with its varieties, and observe the
exceeding great difference in appearance and
qualities, particularly when we compare the
original types as found on our shores, with
wavy sea ae leaves, tending to no head, and
flowering like wild mustard or charlock, with
the cauliflower and red cabbage, &c. As their
culture is generally well known, we shall dwell
upon it here as briefly as possible ; the cabbage
and its varieties require a very strong rich soil,
or they will not come to a good size. The
turnip also does well only in good rich soil,
and indeed the whole tribe thrive best in open
loamy soil, enriched with manure. They all
produce an abundance of seeds, which must be
sown at those periods which experience has
shown to be the best, for bringing their produce
to perfection at certain seasons. Synonymes :

is common in the woods of Jamaica; the tim-
ber is not despicable, but the leaves and young
branches are more useful, and a hearty fatten-
ing fodder for all sorts of cattle. The fruit,
boiled with salt fish, pork, or beef, or pickle,
has frequently been the support of the negroes
and poorer sorts of white people in times of
scarcity, and proved a wholesome and not un-
pleasant food ; when roasted, it eats something
like our common chestnut, and is called bread-
nut. The leaves and young shoots are full of
gum, which renders them disagreeable to most
cattle at first ; but they soon grow very fond of
them. 2B. spwrium is also common in woods
in the W. Indies ; but its timber is of little
value. In our stoves all the species thrive
well in loamy soil, and old cuttings with their
leaves on, root in sand, in moist heat.

male aud female plants, so much as not to be
easily distinguished one from the other. The
fruit is no larger than peas ; and in China and

of its young shoots, which are used in the
same manner as osiers here; the outer bark,

also used in China as glue in gilding leather
and paper. From the bark of this tree is made
the finest and whitest cloth, worn by the
highest ranks in Otaheite and the Sandwich
Islands. The cloth of the bread-fruit tree is
inferior in whiteness and softness to it, conse-

Bruwsvieta, Ker. So called in honour of the
family of Brunswick. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Amaryllidacee, This is a beautiful genus
of bulbous plants; “some of the bulbs grow
to a great size, and require large pots to
have them flower in perfection ; or if planted
out in the open borders in spring, there
will be a better chance of their flowering ;
taking the bulbs up again in auturan, and
keeping them through the winter ; or the best
way to succeed well with them is to have a
pit built on purpose, so as to be occasionally
covered with the lights to keep off too much
wet, and to be covered close in severe wea-
ther, as they cannot bear the frost ; the mould
must be made for them of full one-third sand,
more than one-third of turfy loam, and the
rest peat ; all well mixed together, but not
chopped too small, as the roots run better
through it for being rough and hollow ; when
in full growth and in flower they require a fre-
quent supply of water, but none while dor-
mant; all the greenhouse species of Amargl-
lidacece will succeed best in this way.” Bot.

Sapotacece. These are plants of grand foliage,
but no great beauty of blossom. Some of the
species are robust enough to bear our winters
in the open air, but being rather tender, they
require to be placed in a sheltered situation, or
against a warm wall, and covered with mats
during winter; cuttings root in sand, under
a glass. The stove species are low W. Indian
trees, and known there under the name of
bully-tree. They thrive well in loamy soil,
or loam and peat ; and cuttings will root, but
not freely, in sand under a hand-glass, being
well ripened before they are taken off. Syno-

Orchidacee. The species belonging to this
genus are of great beauty, each of which rivals
the other in loveliness of colour and delightful
fragrance of their flowers. The species.belong-
ing to this and some other genera grow best
upon wood with a little moss on their roots,
and fastened to the wood with tempered copper
or metallic wire. Oak branches with several
arms or forks protruding in different directions
are the most suitable wood for them. 2B.
rigida is a very curious-growing species, pro-
ducing the small pseudo-bulbs at the end of
the wiry-like rhizoma. When the plants make
their growth a little moss should be fastened
to the oak branch for the young shoots to root
and fasten themselves to. Copious watering
overhead and likewise a strong heat are neces-
sary when the plants are growing, but when
they are torpid they should be kept cool and
dry. They are increased by dividing the bulbs.

most splendid genus is rare in our collections,
though easily grown, and not difficult to pro-
pagate. They grow best in loam and peat;
and cuttings taken off at a joint, and planted
singly in pots with their leaves on, will soon
root, if not suffered to get damp, which should
be continually guarded against. It is desirable
to plunge them in a moist heat. The flowers
of B. frondésa and supérba yield a beautiful
dye, andthe roots are capable of being made
into strong rope.

Linn, 21, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Araceae. The spe-
cies of this genus are interesting on account of
having singularly spotted stems, and pretty
neat, often green foliage. Several grow best
in water, and the whole grow well if planted
in rich soil, and may be propagated from tu-
bers. C. seguinwm is a native of the W. Indies
and 8, America, where it grows five or six feet
high, and is called the dumb-cane, because it
has the power, when chewed, of swelling the
tongue, and destroying the power of speech.
Dr. Hooker gives an account of a gardener
who incautiously bit a piece of the dumb-cane,
when his tongue swelled to such a degree
that he could not move it, he became utterly
incapable of speaking, and was confined to
the house for several days; he also adds,
that it is said to impart an indelible stain
to linen.—Zx. Bot. P. Brown states, that
its stalk is employed to bring sugar to a good,
grain when it is too viscid, and cannot be made
to granulate properly by the application of
lime alone. ‘Synonymes: 1, Arum cucullatum ;

CatAntus, R. Brown. From kalos, beautiful,

when in flower. They require a light airy
part of the house, otherwise the flowers will
not open freely, neither will their colours be so
good. The plants must never be saturated
with water ; in every other respect they re-
quire the same treatment as is recommended
for Bletia. Synonymes : 1, Ambygléttis bicolor ;

CatcroLAria, Linn. Named from calceolus,
alluding to the form of the corolla. Linn. 2,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Scrophulariacew. This is a
favourite genus, and contains some very showy
species, from which an almost countless num-
ber of handsome hybrids have been raised and
are raising. The herbaceous and shrubby
kinds are chiefly cultivated. They thrive in
a turfy loam, peat, and sand mixed, or any
kind of rich, open, sandy garden mould seems
to suit them. The place most favourable to
their successful growth is a pit or frame, where
they must be potted and watered with judg-
ment. Some cultivators turn them out in the
flower-garden, where they make a brilliant
display ; others flower them in pots, with per-
fect success, in the greenhouse ; the latter way
is generally preferred for the rare and superior
kinds. Young cuttings planted in soil, under
a glass, root freely; they are also increased
from seed, which it is recommended to sow as
soon as ripe. The annual species require to be
sown in heat, and when up, potted off, and
afterwards brought on for flowering in the
greenhouse. Synonymes: 1, tinctoria; 2,

Cam&itut4, Ker. Named in honour of George

Joseph Kamel, or Camellus, a Moravian Jesuit,
and traveller in Asia. Jinn. 16, Or. 8, Nat.
Or. Ternstremiacee. “ All the species of
Camellia are universally admired by every col-
lector of plants, on account of their beautiful
rose-like flowers, and elegant dark-green shin-
ing laurel-like leaves. They are very hardy
greenhouse plants and are of easy culture, re-
quiring only to be sheltered from severe frost.
The best soil for them is an equal quantity of
good sandy loam and peat. But some of the
best Camellia growers have found that light
loam alone answers very well. The pots should
be well drained with pieces of potsherds, that
they may not get soddened with too much wet,
as nothing injures them more than over-water-
ing, particularly when they are not in a growing
state. When growing freely, they can scarcely
have too much, and they should be watered
over the leaves with a fine rose-pot ; they are
readily increased by cuttings, or inarching on
the common kinds. The euttings should be
taken off at a joint as soon as they are ripened,
and planted in sand, under a glass, where
they will soon strike root ; when this is the
case they should be planted singly in small
pots, aud set in a close frame, and they
must be afterwards hardened to the air by de-
grees.” The season most proper to give the
Camellias a general potting is February and
March. After this, put them into a peach-
house or vinery, or a warm greenhouse, and
give the plants plenty of water while they are
making their young shoots ; when the seagon’s
growth is completed, and the flower-buds
formed, the back of the greenhouse or even a
 

’

well-sheltered north border will suit them, for
they will be seriously injured if exposed to the
rays of thesun. <A regular succession of flowers
may be obtained from autumn till July, if at-
tention is paid to shifting the ‘plants to the
warm atmosphere of a vinery, or pinery, &c.,
and to one a few degrees colder, and so on till
they come to expand their flowers in the green-
house, which in rough, bleak, cold weather,
should be kept closed. The seeds of C. olct-
Jera yield an excellent table oil. Synonyme :

20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacee, All the
species of this genus are strong, rapid-growing
plants, and from the singular formation of the
flowers, they well deserve a place in every col-
lection. They should be kept cool and dry
when torpid, forced gently into growth, and
when growing freely, kept in a strong heat,
and copiously supplied with water ; this treat-
ment should be applied to all plants of a
sitailar habit. They require to be potted in
the same kind of soil, and in a similar manner
to the Stanhopeas and Gongoras. See Mydn-

from two to twelve feet high ; they thrive best
in light turfy loam, and peat soil. Being very
subject to the attacks of insects, great watch-
fulness is required to keep them clear, or the
plants never succeed or flower. Cuttings root
in sand, under a glass, in heat.

famous patron of botany, and one of the most
ardent collectors of rare plants of his day.
Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacew. Some
of the species of this splendid genus of plants
are most magnificent when in flower, as C.
crispa, lubidta, and Méssiw ; and these three
vio with each other in the beauty of their
flowers: when they are well grown, each of
these has generally from four to six flowers on,
a spike; in C. crispa the sepals and petals are
pure white, the latter much curled, while the
fp or labellum is purple in the inside, and
white outside. The flowers of C. labidta are
very large and showy, the sepals and petals
being a delicate rose-colour, and somewhat
curled; the outside of the labellum is also
rose-colour, and the inside blotched, and
striped with deep carmine. The flowers
of C. Méssie very much resemble those
of labiatx, only they are larger, the cir-
cumference of the flower being about twenty-
four inches. All the other species are highly
deserving of cultivation, if only for the splen-
dour of their flowers. For culture and propa-
gation they may be referred to the Stanhopeas,

must be annually raised from seed sown on a
gentle hotbed early in spring, and afterwards
planted out in the open border, where they
will produce their flowers and seeds in autumn.
If there is any convenience for protecting the
young plants during winter, the seed should
be sown in autumn, as by that means the
plants will flower much earlier and produce
seeds with greater certainty, Synonymes: 1.

CirrnoPitaLum, Lindley. From cirrhus, a ten-

form of the flowers, Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or.
Orchidacee. C. Thoudrsit is a most singular
species, with long, strap-shaped sepals, grow-
ing from one side of the flowers, while the
petals are very small, yellow, spotted finely
with red. The rhizoma of this species elon-
gates very much, and is in a growing state
always at the extremity ; on this account it is
requisite, in potting, to keep the active part
nearest the side of the pot from which it
grows away. The other species have much
smaller flowers, without anything striking
about them. For culture, &c., they may be
referred to Stanhopea. Synonymes: 1, Ephip-

A small order con-
sisting of dwarf and trailing shrubs and her-
baceous plants, mostly with showy, fugitive
flowers. The resinous balsamic substance
kuown as Ladanum is obtained from Cistus
Ledon, Creticus, and others. All deserve cul-
tivation.

From the Greek, kistos,
which is derived from kiste, meaning a box
or capsule ; on account of the remarkable
shape of the capsule. Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Cistaceew. This is a beautiful genus of
plants, varying in height from one to four
feet ; they are considered hardy, but some of
them require protection in winter, either in a
greenhouse or cold frame; most of the species,
however, will pass the ‘winter in the open
ground, if the weather be not very severe ; but
the best plan is to keep some of all the ‘sorts
in pots, that they may be more easily pro-
tected from severe weather, when they may be
turned out in the borders in spring, where
they will flower freely. They do well in com-
mon soil, and are increased by layers, or
ripened cuttings placed under a glass, or seeds.

number, and some are very beautiful.
Cuematitis. See Aristolochia Clematitis.
Cirdme, Linn. From kleio, to shut ; alluding
to the parts of the flower. Linn. 15, Nat. Or.
Capparidacee. The species of this genus are
very pretty, and free-flowering; the stove
kinds require a rich light soil, and cuttings
root freely under a glass. Some of the annual
species require sowing in a hotbed frame, or in
a hothouse, and when potted off, to be placed
among the tender annuals. The hardier kinds
may be sown on @ hotbed, and when of suffi-
cient size, planted out in ‘sheltered situations
in the flower-borders. Synonymes: 1, C. orni-

Ciétura, Linn. From klethra, the Greek name
of the alder ; on account of the resemblance it
bears to that plant. Zinn. 10, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Ericacee. All the species of this genus
are ornamental, growing from two to ten feet
high. The grecnhouse kinds are well suited

 

for conservatories, succeeding best in peat
earth, or light sandy loam; cuttings taken
off, not too ripe, will root freely in sand,
under a glass. The hardy kinds, where the
soil will suit them, are well adapted for the
front of shrubberies, and require the same
kind of soil as the greenhouse species. It is
usual to increase them by layers ; but cuttings
root readily in sand, under a glass. All the
kinds may be raised from seeds. Synonymes:

Amaryllidaceee. ‘It is much to be lamented
that seeds of the Collanias, as well as nume-
rous species of splendid Bomdreas, have not
been gathered by collectors, and remitted to
Europe. Most of them would live out of
doors in: England, with « little covering in
winter of sawdust, leaves, or ashes, and pro-
bably in the South of Europe, would require
no care, except, perhaps, watering in dry
summers. I wish that’ I could excite some of
our wealthy cultivators to turn their thoughts
to the acquisition of these plants, and their
numerous kindred, which are profusely scat-

_ tered over the slopes of the Andes, and waste
their beauties in the woods, as yet unnoticed
by any European traveller.” Herbert on Bul-

“The plant has the habit of a Stanhopea, and
pushes forth from the base of its pseudo-bulbs
a pendulous scape, on which two or three
flowers are developed ; each flower is placed at
the end of a long, stiff, cylindrical-furrowed

thing more than six inches from the tip of one
sepal to that of the opposite one. The sepals
and petals are nearly of the same colour, being
of an ochrey yellow, spotted. irregularly with
dull purple. ‘The lip is as fleshy and solid in
its texture as the sepals and petals are deli-
cate; it is seated on a deep purple stalk,
nearly an inch long; this stalk terminates in
a hemispherical greenish-purple cup or cap ;
and the latter contracting at its front edge,
extends forward into a sort of second stalk of
a very vivid blood-colour, the sides of which
are thinner than the centre, turned back, and
marked with four or five very deep, solid,
sharp-edged plaits. These edges again expand
and form a second cup, less lobed than the
first, thinuing away very much to the edges,
of a broadly conical figure, with a diameter of
at least two inches at the orifice ; this second
cup is of an ochrcey yellow, streaked and
spotted with pale crimson, and seems intended
to catch a watery secretion, which drips into
it from two succulent horns, taking their
origin in the base of the column, and hanging
over the centre of the cup.”—Bot. Reg. vol.
xxii, t. 1841. The genus requires the same
treatment as is recommended for Stanhdpea.

The garden varieties of Crocus are so exceed-
ingly numerous, and their increase from seed
every year is so great, that anything like a list
for reference could not be supplied in a bota-

these can be better obtained from the bulb lists
of nurserymen, which are published annually,

posed of plants possessing very deleterious
qualities. The seeds of D. ceratocadlon will
sometimes remain in the ground for several
years before they vegetate. The seeds of all
the species require to be sown early in spring,
on a hotbed, and when of sufficient size they
should be transplanted into a warm border,
where they will flower better than if kept in
pots. In the United States the juice of D.
Stramoniwm is used in doses of from twenty to
thirty grains in cases of epilepsy, or of mania
without fever. Synonymes: 1, humilis ; 2,

The garden varieties of Delphinium, as given
in the catalogues of nurserymen, are some of
them exceedingly beautiful. A few may be
named—delicdtum, cardiopétalum, Hender-
Soni, magnificum, grandiflorum, mdaximum,
formosun, Montmérency, Moorednum.

DemAtium, Persoon. From a diminutive of
dema, a bundle; in reference to the mode of

An extremely minute species of Fungi, of a
bluish colour, found on the stems of herbs in
autumn—articulatum.

DeEMULCENT, having the property of softening

Denprdsium, Swartz, From dendron, a tree,
and dios, life; in the places of their natural
growth, the species are generally found upon
trees. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacece.
No orchidaceous plants contribute more to the
gaiety of the stove than the species of this
splendid genus. D. nodbile, chrysdénthum, Gib-
soni, fimbriatwm, densiflorum, and many
others, are equalled by few, and certainly not
surpassed, in the beauty of their flowers, by
any other orchidaceous plants ; and if the fol-
lowing directions be attended to, they will be
found very easy of culture :—All orchidaceous
plants require (to cultivate them successfully),
a season of growth, 2 season of rest, and a sea-
son for flowering ; all of which should coincide,
as much as possible, with the corresponding
seasons of those parts of the globe which they
so profusely inhabit ; and the species of this
genus should especially be subjected to a
change of treatment assimilating as much as

 

possible to that before mentioned, without

‘which, they will never flower in perfection.

In India, three seasons only are known ; the
hot, or dry season, which is succeeded by the
rainy season, and the cold, or winter season.
In the hot season, all, or the greater part, of
the plants belonging to this genus produce
their flowers ; in the rainy season, they make
their shoots; and during the cold season, they
have a period of repose. The different seasons
being so well known, it is very easy to imitate
them in our hothouses, and by aiveneing to
these simple rules, we should be enabled to
flower the eyes of this more abundantly
than those of any other orchidaceous genus,
besides which, they might be easily induced
to flower in this country at any season of the
year. D. chrysénthum, Pterardi, and some
others grow well when fastenzd singly on
pieces of wood, and treated as is recommended
under Burlingtonia ; but they all succeed well
when potted in very turfy peat, raised above
the pot, in the same way as is recommended
in potting Stanhdpeas. A strong moist heat
is indispensable in the growing season, when
they may be frequently slightly syringed over-
head. They will be found to succeed best in
a warmer part of the house than the Stanhdpeas
require. They are propagated by detaching
one or more of the stems while in a dormant
state, taking care not to injure the roots, and
potting it carefully in turfy peat soil, and not
much raised above the pot, which must be
carefully drained; the pot should then be
plunged in a gentle bottom heat, where the
plant will speedily produce new shoots. Sy-

consisted of woolly rigid two-lobed scales, col-
lected into a cone the size of a ‘child’s head,
bearing on each lobe a single nut about as large
as a chestnut.

Diona:a, Linn. Dione, one of the names of
Venus. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Droseracece.
This is a very singular little plant in respect
to its leaves, which are of an anomalous form,
and have a curious motion, by which they
catch insects; whence the specific name, Mu-
scipula, a fly-trap. The petiole of the leaf is
winged. The extreme part is that which acts
as a trap. As soon as the insect enters, the
lobes of the leaf fold together, and remain so
as long as the insect continues to struggle ;
but as soon as it is quiet, the leaf opens and
permits it to escape. The plant thrives best
in small pots, in peat earth, and some dwarf
species of moss placed underneath in the pot ;
the pots should then be placed in a pan of
water, and set in a cool place in the stove,
with a glass over them, but not close, else
they will be liable to damp. Sceds are some-
times produced, by which they may be in-
creased, but the readier way is to divide the
plants at the root. It has also been found,
that if a leaf be taken off, and placed on
damp moss, it will emit a young plant from
its edge.

DortmAnna, Don. After one Dortmann, said

to be a Dutch apothecary. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Lobeliacew. The species of this genus
are singular and beautiful plants, but require
a good deal of care in cultivation. JD. laciis-
tris succeeds best planted in a pot of gravel,
and placed ina pond or cistern, so that the
plants may be about six inches under the
water. The other species may be grown in a
pot half filled with peat earth, and the rest
with sphagnum, in which the plants must be
set, and the pot placed in shallow water, so as
not to immerse the plants. They may be in-
creased by division. Synonymes: 1, Lobélia

DoryAntuss. Named by Correa de Serra, from

dory, a spear, and anthe, flower; because of ©

the long straight flower-stem. Linn. 6, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Amaryllidacee. Rather an orna-
mental plant, requiring a warm part of the
greenhouse, or a cool part of the stove; the
latter is preferable. It may be increased from
suckers, which are seldom to be obtained, ex-
cept by cutting a large plant down, or taking
out the heart of the plant; in either case, it
will throw out suckers.

nalis is considered a valuable medicine in dy-
senteric affections. The substance called Gum

gon, and kephale, head ; the appearance of the
heads of the flowers. Linn. 15, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Lamidcee. Most of the species are orna-
mental, and as such, they deserve a place in
every garden. They succeed well in common
garden soil. Some of the tender perennial
kinds require the protection of a frame in
winter, and, on that account, they ought to be
grown in pots; they increase readily by di-
viding the roots. The annual kinds merely
require sowing in a rich, light soil, in the open
ground, where they will flower beautifully.

Dréssera. From droseros, dewy; the plants

them appear as if covered with dew. Linn. 5,
Or. 5, Nat. Or. Droseracee. This is a most
singular and beautiful genus of plants, whose
leaves are ornamented with red glandular
hairs, discharging from their ends a drop of
viscid acrid juice. These hairs are so irritable
as to contract when touched, imprisoning in-
sects, after the manner of Diondéa Muscipula,
In their native state, they are found growing
on mossy turfy bogs, The best way to grow
them, is to plant them in small pots, about
three Le full of peat earth, and some sphag-
num placed on it; the plants should then be
planted in the moss, and the pots placed in
pans of water, and even then, the hardy species
grow best in the greenhouse. They are all in-
creased by seeds, which should be allowed to
sow themselves. Synonyme: 1, D. intermedia.

DrrAnpra, R. Brown. In honour of Jonas
Dryander, a distinguished Swedish botanist.
Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Protedcce. A splendid
genus of plants, nearly related to Banksia.
All the species thrive well in an equal mixture
of turfy loam, peat, and sand. The pots re-
quire to be well drained, and the potsherds
broken very small, because the roots are fond
of running among them. Cuttings taken off

at a joint, in August or September, and planted
in sand, without shortening the leaves, will
readily root if placed on a gentle hotbed (but
not plunged), under a glass ; but they must be
covered, so as the frost cannot injure them.
As soon as rooted they must be potted off, as
the sand would injure the roots if they were
too long in it; after being potted off, they
should be placed in a close frame, and har-
dened to the air by degrees. The cuttings will
do equally well if put in early in spring, just
as they are beginning to push out young wood.

Dorio, Zinn, Duryon, in the Malay language,
is the name of the fruit. Linn. 18, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Sterculiacee. This tree thrives well ina
rich loamy soil; and cuttings, not too ripe,
taken off at a joint, with their leaves entire,
will root in sand, under a glass, in a moist
heat. The fruit of this tree is about the size
of a man’s head, and is said to be the most de-
licious of all the fruits of India. The axil-like
substance, which contains the kernel, is the
eatable part of it, and most resembles cream ;
yet it is accompanied by such an intolerable
stench, that, according to Rumphius and Va-
lentyn, it is, by law, forbidden to throw them
out, near any public path, in Amboyna. The
smell is said to be similar to that of some
putrid animal substances ; yet all agree, that
if the first repugnance is once overcome, no
fruit is more agreeable than the durion. The
fruit is also used as a bait to entrap the civet-
cat ; hence the specific name.

one of great beauty. . gibbiflora is disposed
to grow rather straggling ; nevertheless, it is
‘worthy.of a place in every collection, on ac-
count of its strong, shining leaves, and orangy-
scarlet flowers. To grow them well, they
require a soil composed of sandy loam and a
little peat, mixed with reduced rubbish of
bricks, &c. At all seasons they should be
cautiously watered, particularly in winter.
They increase from cuttings, dried a few days
before being put in the soil. Synonymes: 1,

Nat. Or. Cactacece. These are plants of great
beauty and interest, on account of their sin-
gular and grotesque structure, the arrangement
of their spines, and the beauty of their flowers.
The soil best suited for them is sandy peat, a
little loam, and a little lime, or brick rubbish,
all of which must be well mixed together.
They must be watered very sparingly at all
times, but more so in winter. They are in-
creased from offsets, which must be dried a
few days before being put in to strike. These
plants, and Mammillérias, are sometimes
much infested with red spider, which is very
troublesome. The effectual way of extermi-
nating them, is to shed a little dry sulphur
over the plant infested, and they will soon dis-
appear, and as soon return, if not carefully
watched. Synonymes: 1, Cereus abnormis ; 2,

1, Nat. Or. Boraginacee. This is a very pretty
genus of shrubs, growing from two to six feet
high, in a mixture of loam and peat. Cuttings
will root in the same kind of soil, under a
glass ; but they are more readily increased by
layers, which soon take root if laid down in
the young wood, with a little nick cut in the
shoot. Seeds are frequently produced, from
which they may also be increased. Syno-

loam and peat, and care must be taken not to
over-water them, when not in a growing state.

Epacridacee. Very elegant greenhouse plants,
growing in general from two to four feet high ;
they grow best in a very sandy peat soil, and
the rougher and more turfy the soil is, the
better the plants will thrive. If the plants
are to be turned out of doors from the green-
house in summer, they ought, just before, to
be shifted into fresh pots and soil, otherwise,
the roots being so fine, the hot sun against the
pots is apt to destroy the points of them, and
frequently kills the plant altogether. Cut-
tings taken from the tips of the young shoots,
and planted in sand, under a glass, in autumn,
winter, or spring, will root readily ; but they
will not strike so freely in summer. When
rooted they should be potted singly in small
pots, and set in a close frame, and hardened to
the air by degrees. See Lysinéma.

Erica, Linn. Tho Erica of Pliny, which is de-
rived from erico or ereico, to break ; because some
of the species are supposed to have the quality
of breaking stone in. the bladder. Linn. 8,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zricacec. This is a genus
comprising a great number of very beautiful
and interesting plants, but not so much culti-
vated as they ought to be, on account of the
supposed difficulty in managing and propaga-
ting them; but the greatest difficulty lies in
getting proper soil for them, without which
they will not thrive. The free-growing kinds
thrive best in good black peat, and like largish
pots to grow in. The dwarf and hard-wooded
kinds must have « very sandy peat, and
smaller pots, well drained with potsherds,
over which a few bits of rough turfy peat
should be placed ; they also require less water
than the free-growing kinds, as they grow
chiefly at the Cape on the tops and sides of
mountains, and in the crevices of rocks, and
such like situations, chiefly in very sandy soil,
and but little of it; they all require a good
deal of air, and must not be crowded too thick
together. Too much fire heat in winter will
hurt them as much as anything, as they only
require to be kept from frost ; most of the
kinds might be preserved through the winter
in frames: the only difficulty is to keep the
damp from them. Cuttings of most species

strike readily, by taking off the very tender ,

tops of the shoots, and planting them in sand,
under glasses. _ The strong growing kinds
require the cuttings to be rather larger than
the others, and some of the stunted growing
kinds should be kept in the stove a little
while when they begin to grow, to draw them
to a sufficient length of young wood, or cut-
tings cannot be procured ; as soon as rooted
they should be potted off singly into small
pots, and placed in a close frame, and_har-
dened by degrees. The hardy sorts require to
be grown in the same kind of soil; cuttings
planted in sand, under a glass, will root freely :
they may also be increased by layers. Sy-

Erioné6rrra, Lindley. From erion, wool, and

E. japonica is the loquat tree of Japan, and is
deserving of the most extensive culture, both
as a plant of ornament and utility. The
flowers are produced in terminal bunches in
January, and the fruit ripens, and is fit for
table, in April. Plants may be obtained from
cuttings, seeds, or grafting. By cuttings—take
off the young ripe wood in June, each cutting
about two inches long, always cut off at a
joint; plant them ina pot of sand, under a
glass, plunged up to the rim of the pot in a
brisk heat, and they will soon root. By seeds
—as soon as they are gathered, they must be
sown in a pot of fine-sifted leaf-mould, and the
pot plunged in a brisk heat; the soil should
be covered with moss, to prevent the surface
drying, and in about a fortnight young plants
will make their appearance. When about an
inch high, they should be planted singly into
thimble pots, in a mixture of leaf and heath-
mould broken very fine ; plunge the pots again
in a hotbed till they require another potting,
after which, treat them as old plants. By
grafting—the best stock for grafting on is the
Whitethorn, and for plants grown in the stove,
the end of October is the proper time, but if
growing out of doors, grafting may bo per-
formed at the usual grafting season. Syno-
nymes: 1, Méspilus ciila; 2, M. japonica.

Linn. 5, Or. 2, Nat. Or, Apiacee. Most of
the species of this extensive genus are ex-
tremely ornamental and beautiful, more espe-
cially the hardier kinds, which are, on that
account, particularly well adapted for the
flower-border. They thrive best in a light
sandy soil, though they will all grow in any
common garden soil. The greenhouse and
frame kinds should be grown in pots, so that
they may be sheltered in winter. They are
readily increased by seeds, or dividing at the

roots. The roots of £. campéstre are slightly
aromatic.

ful brilliant, scarlet, or red tlowers ; the com-
post best suited for them is one part fresh
maiden loam, one part sandy peat, and one
part of horse-dung, well rotted and pulverised.
Lhe whole should be well incorporated and
chopped, and also well exposed during ‘frost in
winter. As soon as the plants have done
growing, cut them down, and set them in a
cool greenhouse, where they may be kept

 

tinue this treatment till they show flower,
then allow them plenty of air and moisture,
and they will flower freely again in July, after
which, it is advisable to give them their winter.
Cuttings taken off at a joint, without depriv-
ing them of their leaves, root readily in sand,
under a hand-glass, in a moist heat. £. Crista-
galli, and FE. lawrifélia, will thrive and flower
freely in warm sheltered situations out of
doors; in such situations, they are killed to
the stump in winter unless they are cut down
to about four inches of the stem, and sheltered
by an inverted flower-pot. Synonymes: 1, B.

The flowers are white with red calyxes; it is
one of those fragrant tropical trees whose
foliage is filled with a sweet volatile oil, like

many respects resemble opium, and no effects
that have been ascribed to the immoderate use
of opium are exceeded by what seems the con-

12, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Myrtaceew. All the species
of this genus are very tall and handsome, and
as they grow fast, are well adapted for conser-
vatories. £. perfoliata will endure the open
air against a south wall, in which situation it
looks very handsome, on account of its hoary,
bluish foliage, and neat growth of the branches.
They delight to grow in a mixture of peat,
loam, and sand; and cuttings, not too ripe,
root readily in sand, under a glass. A kind of
gum, called kino, is got from £. resinifera, and
sold in the medicine bazaars of India; and
various other species yield a large quantity of
tannin, which is extracted from the trees in
New Holland, and sent to the English market,
and is said to be twice as powerful in its ope-

ome species of this genus are very ornamen-
tal, as EF. floribéndum, while others, as E.
coriaceum, are quite uninteresting. They re-
quire a mixture of peat and loam to grow in,
and young plants are obtained from seeds with-
out difficulty. #. Ayapana has been famed
for curing the bite of serpents, and an infusion
of its leaves forms excellent diet-drink, and,
when fresh bruised, are said to be very useful
for cleaning the face of a foul ulcer. £. per-

Evrnoreia. Linneus named this genus after
Euphorbus, a physician to Juba, King of Mau-
ritania, Linn. 11, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Buphor-
bidcee. This is an exceedingly variable, and
very extensive genus of plants, comprising a
number of very handsome species, as well as a
number that are entirely unworthy of cultiva-
tion. Many of the stove and greenhouse spe-
cies are of a succulent nature, therefore require
to be grown in a dry soil, consisting of loam,
and old brick and lime rubbish ; they require
but little water; those that are not of a suc-
culent nature require a light rich soil, and
plenty of moisture, They all abound in a
milky juice. Sweet says, ‘‘The way we have
snceeeded best in striking the cuttings, is to
stick them in the tan among the pots, in a
good heat, and not cover them with any glass;
but the best way of getting good plants is
from seed, which will ripen plentifully if care
be taken to fertilize the stigmas with the pol-
len when in bloom.” The hardy perennial
species thrive in any common garden soil, and
increase by divisions of the roots, or by seeds,
The hardy aunuals and biennials merely require
sowing in the open ground. The tender kinds
must be sown in the hothouse, or in a hotbed
frame, and when potted off, must be set with
other tender annuals and biennials. The root
of £. Ipecacudénha is said to be equal to the
true Ipecacudnha. FE. antiquorwm, canariénsts, |
and some other fleshy species, produce the
drug Zuphdrbium, which is the inspissated
milky juice of such plants, The native prac-
titioners of India prescribe internally the juice
of the leaves of nereifolia as a purge and de-
obstruent. The Tamool doctors of India give
the leaves and sceds of Z. thymifolia in worm
cases. In India, the fresh acrid juice of £.
Tirucdlli is used as a vesivatory. The juice of
E. heptagona, according to Virey, furnishes the
Ethiopians with a deadly poison for their ar-
rows. Synonymes: 1, EL. bupleuroides ; 2, Me-

desirable, especially F. eldstica, which is one
of the most noted. They all thrive well in
any light rich soil, or in loam and peat.
Cuttings, with their leaves uninjured, root in
sand ; the stove species in heat. F. eldstica is

 

famed for producing a species of India rubber.
The glutinous juice of L’. indica is applied to
the teeth and gums to ease the toothache ; the
Hindoos consider the bark a powerful tonic,
and use it in diabetes. F. racemésa is slightly
astringent, and the juice of the root is also
a powerful tonic. F. indica is the celebrated
Banyan Tree of India, the seeds of which are
supposed to be cooling and alterative. Syno-

Fréxinus, Linn. From phrazis, a separation ;
the wood is used in making hedges. Linn. 23,
Or. 2, Nat. Or. Oledcece. Most of the species
are large-growing trees, well suited for planta-
tions. F. excélsior is one of the most useful of
our native timber trees ; its wood is much used
by coachmakers, wheelwrights, and for many

 

implements used in husbandry. Any of the
kinds may be increased by budding or grafting
on the common ash, but they are most fre-
quently raised from seeds, which do not vege-
tate till the second year. The bark of several
of the species yields a concrete discharge called
manna, which is a sweet and gentle purgative.

and peat suits them well, but they will grow
equally well in any light-rich soil ; and young
cuttings will root freely in sand or soil; if
placcd under a glass, it must occasionally be
taken off to give air, or the cuttings are liable

GautAces, or STELLATES. An order of her-

baceous plants, with whorled leaves and an-
gular stems, separated from Cinchondcee.
They are very common weeds, natives of the
cooler parts of the northern hemisphere.
Madder (Rubia tinctoria) is a well-known dye,
and all the stellates possess this quality in a
greater or less degree.

From gala, milk; the flowers
of G. vérum are used for curdling milk. Linn,
4, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Galidcee. This is an exten-
sive genus of plants, of very little merit. They
all grow well in common garden soil. The
herbaceous kinds are increased by dividing the
roots, and the annuals need only be sown in
the open ground. Synonymes: 1, gladewm ;

Garcinia, Linn. In honour of Laurent Garcin,
M.D., F.R.S., an oriental traveller. Zinn. 11,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Clusiacew. This is a valuable
and much admired genus of fruit-bearing trees.
The plants thrive best in a light loamy soil
with a little peat mixed : they require a strong
moist heat to flourish well, and ripened cut-
tings will root in sand, under a glass, in a
moist heat. The G. Mangostana bears a fruit
which, in the East Indies, ranks with that of
the pine-apple. It rises with a taper stem,
sending out many branches, not unlike a fig-
tree, with oval leaves, seven or eight inches
long. The flower is like that of a single rose ;
the fruit round, the size of a middling orange ;
the shell is like that of the pomegranate, the
inside of a rose colour, divided by thin par-
titions, as in oranges, in which the seeds are
lodged, surrounded by a soft juicy pulp, of a
delicious flavour, partaking of the strawberry
and the grape, and is esteemed one of the
richest fruits in the world. According to Dr.
Garcin, it is esteemed the most delicious of the
East Indian fruits, and a great deal of it may
be eaten without any inconvenience ; it is the
only fruit which sick people are allowed to eat
without scruple. It is given with safety in
almost every disorder; and we are told that
Dr. Solander, in the last stage of a putrid fever

isa splendid genus of plants, producing their
sweet-scented flowers very freely. They re-
quire a mixture of loam and peat; and the
stove kinds, a strong moist heat and plenty of
water at the roots. “Cuttings of all root readily
if not too ripe when taken off, planted in sand,
under a glass, in a moist heat, with the pots
plunged. Synonymes: 1, Musséenda spinosa ;

remarkable for producing their leaves, more or
Jess regular, in two rows. Sandy loam, a little
leaf-mould, and peat, well mixed together,
with a small quantity of brick rubbish, is the
best compost for them; and being of a very
succulent nature, they require to be only
moderately watered at any time, particularly
when not growing. ‘hey all increase from

GentiAna, Linn. After Gentius, king of Ily-
ria, who first’ experienced the virtues of the
plant. Linn. 5, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Gentianacee.
This is an extremely beautiful genus of plants;
most of the herbaceous kinds grow well in a
rich light soil, but some require to be grown
in peat ; indeed, all will grow much stronger
init. Some of the species should be grown in

 

pots, and placed among alpine plants, and pro-
tected in winter; some of them may be in-
creased by divisions. The annual and biennial
kinds may be sown in a dry sandy situation,
in the open border ; but the seeds must be sown
as soon as ripe, for if left till spring before
they are sown, they will not, very probably,
come up till the second year. The stems and
roots of most of the species, especially G@. A ma-
rélla, campéstris, cruciata, litea, and purpurea

are tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal. Syno-

GrenTiaANAcEm, or GENTIAN-worTs, form a
well-known order of plants, principally her-
baceous, and extending over almost all parts
of the world. Bitterness in roots, leaves, and
flowers are their characteristics, and on this
account they are much used in medicine.

Geranium. Named by Linnezus from geranos,
a crane; in allusion to the crane-like beak

Or. Geranidcee. Some species of this exten-
sive genus produce very handsome flowers,
while others are mere weeds. The greenhouse

 

and frame kinds thrive in loam and_peat,
mixed with vegetable soil, and are easily in-
creased from cuttings or seeds. ‘The hardy
kinds do well in the open border; G@. argén-
tewm, however, requires to be protected in
winter: they ripen seeds freely, from which
they may be increased. The annual kinds
merely require to be sown in the open border.
In North America they consider the root of G.

Wales, G. Robertidnum is used in nephritic

Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Liliacew. This is a
truly handsome and curious genus of plants,
well worthy of cultivation in every collection
of stove plants. The following method of
treatment is given by the late Mr. Sweet :—
““We have found them succeed best, and flower
luxuriantly, by being planted in rather more
than one-third turfy loam, full one-third white
sand, and the remainder peat; as soon as
planted, to be set in a hotbed frame till they
have begun to grow; then move them to a
warm part of the hothouse, and as they grow,
train them up a stick or wire, where they will
flower, and if a little pains be taken to fertilise
the stigmas with the pollen when in bloom,
they will produce plenty of seeds, which should
be sown as soon as gathered. After flowering,
the stems must be let die down, and they re-
quire no more water; the pots may then be
laid on their sides, in a dry situation, and
there left till the March following, when they
should be planted.’ Young plants are gener-
ally obtained by dividing the roots; they are
also raised from seeds. Synonyme : 1, simplex.

plentiful supply of water; in winter they re-
quire very little water. G. maculdta is easily
increased by divisions. The leaves of most of
the others, if taken off close to the stem, and
planted, will soon make young plants.

GorponiA, Fllis, In honour of Alexander Gor-

London, who lived in the time of Miller.
Linn. 16, Or.2, Nat. Or. Ternstrimiacee. This
isa genus of elegant plants, well deserving of
extensive cultivation on account of their large
and beautiful fowers. The plants are hardy
enough to stand our British winters in the
open air, yet the young shoots often get in-
jured, owing to the shortness of our summer
not suffering them to ripen the wood, or even
to flower in perfection ; they should therefore
be treated as greenhouse plants. The best soil
for them is peat, mixed with a little loam ;
they are readily increased by layers, or cuttings
in sand, under a glass. G. Hematéaylon re-
quires to be grown in the stove ; and cuttings
of the ripened wood will root in sand, under a
glass, in heat. Synonyme: 1, Lacathéa flérida,

This is a highly valuable genus of plants, espe-
cially the species barbadénse and herbacewm,
the former being extensively cultivated in the
West Indies, and the latter in the south of
Europe. A light rich soil and a moist heat
suit all the species best. Cuttings of the
shrubby kinds, if not too ripe, will root freely
in a light soil, under a glass; they may also
be increased by seeds. The annual and bien-
nial species should be sown in pots in spring,
and placed in heat, and when the plants are of
sufficient size, they should be planted singly
into small pots, and shifted as they grow. See
Cochlospérmum Gossgpium.

Grias, Linn. From grao, to eat; the fruit is
edible. Zinn. 13, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Barringtont-
acee. This is an elegant fruit-bearing tree,
from thirty to fifty feet high, with leaves about
three feet long, and large flowers growing out
of the stem and old branches ; it thrives best
in a loamy soil, and large cuttings will root
under a handglass, in heat. In the West
Indies, the fruit is eaten under the name of
Anchovy Pear. It is of a brown russet colour,
and the size and shape of an alligator’s egg. It
is pickled, and eaten in the same way as the
East Indian mango, and is very similar to that
fruit in taste. To grow it for fruit, it should
be planted in u border, and trained near the
light.

the American species in severe, frosty, or rainy
weather. The stove species grow best in a
mixture of leaf-mould and peat, placed in a
hot, damp part of the house when in a grow-
ing state ; but like the genus Blétia, after the
lants have lost their leaves, and the roots
Beate dormant, they require to be kept cool
and dry until the roots begin to push, when
the plants should be repotted, and again placed
in a hot’ and moist heat. They are all in-
creased by divisions of the roots. Synonymes :

pretty when in blossom ; they grow well in an
equal mixture of loam and peat, with a little
sand. They only require to be protected from
frost in winter, which may easily be done if
the plants are against a south wall; if in pots,
they should be removed into the greenhouse.
Cuttings strike freely either in sand or soil,

Hénrrerva, Lindley. Under the provisional
name of Dipteracdnthus scdéndens, the plant, on
which the present genus is founded, was exhi-
bited at a meeting of the Horticultural Society,
in the spring of 1847. A full examination of its
structure having shown that it formed a new
and distinct genus, Dr. Lindley named it after
the late Arthur Henfrey, a gentleman much
distinguished for his sound acquaintance with
botany,*especially Vegetable Anatomy. The
form of the stigma separates it decisively from
both Dipteracénthus and Strobilanthes, to which
it has, in other respects, much apparent affi-
nity. The mode of culture is as follows :—
After it has ceased to produce flowers in the
spring, or beginning of summer, it should be
divested of the old soil, and re-potted in fresh
turfy peat and loam, in equal proportions, in-
termixed with a small portion of silver sand.
The pot should be rather small in proportion
to the size of the plant. Plunge it in bottom
heat, where a humid glowing temperature,
perfectly sweet, of seventy-five or eighty degrees,
is kept up during night, and let it be partially
shaded during ‘bright sunlight. When roots
have been plentifully produced, give it a final
shift, using rough materials, as before de-
scribed. A few round sticks will answer for
its support, to which the shoots must be tied.

being abundant flowerers, and the flowers of-
much variety in shade and colour, they are all

Hesperipem. Sce Aurantiacec.

Hésperis, Linn. From hesperos, the evening ;
the flowers of most of the species of Rocket
are more fragrant towards evening. Linn. 15,
Nat. Or. Brassicacee. The Rocket is a well-
known flower in every garden. The herba-
ceous kinds do best in a light rich soil, and
attention must be paid to frequent transplant-
ing and dividing, or they will not grow, parti-
cularly H. matrondlis and its varieties ; the
best time for doing it is when they begin to
spring afresh from the root after flowering.
The seed of the annual and biennial kinds
merely require sowing in the open border. Sy-
nonymes: 1, H. sibirica; 2, H. inodéra; 3,
A. bituminesa ; 4, Cheirdnthus bicuspidatus.

culture. The shrubby and herbaceous kinds
are well adapted for planting on rock-work
during summer, but in winter they require the
protection of glass ; and are increased by cut-

merely require sowing in the open ground.
Henbane has been long used as a medicine.

Aquifolidcee. A genus of trees and shrubs
weil known for their elegant character, ever-
green prickly foliage, and their adaptation to
lawns. Many varieties have resulted from cul-
ture, which are distinguished by the variega-
tion and size of the leaves, and the colour of
the fruit. They grow well in any soil, but
best in a dryish situation, where there is a
good depth of loam. They are increased by
budding or grafting on the common kinds; but
cuttings of the ripened wood will root under a
glass, in a sheltered situation. J. paraguénsis
is used as tea, and yields the famous beverage
called Maté in Brazil. Synonymes: 1, Ilex
nata ; 2, I. dipyréna, Dentont. See Myginda

rather elegant plants, the shrubby kinds of
which are well worthy of cultivation. The
stove and greenhouse shrubby kinds thrive
best in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, and
may be increased without difficulty by cuttings
of the young wood planted in sand, under a
glass, in heat. The annual and biennial kinds
must be raised from seeds sown in a hotbed in
spring, and when the plants have grown a
sufficient height, they may be planted singly
into pots, and treated as other tender annuals
and biennials. The powdered leaf of J. Anil
is used in hepatitis. Indigo is produced from
various species of this genus, especially from

in heat. J. délcis is well known for the sweet
juice which flows from its leaves when they
are put into the mouth and brnised. Sy-

sandy, and in equal parts, and placed in a cold
frame, where the seed will soon vegetate,
during which time the least possible water is
given. When the plants begin to show signs
. of leaves, they are thinned out to three or four
in each pot; in about a week after this, they
should be removed into a rather light and airy
part of the greenhouse, where they remain all
winter. During winter, over-watering, and
drips from the roof of the house, must be
carefully avoided. In spring, they are shifted
into forty-eight-sized pots, well drained, and
the same kind of soil as before ; in doing this,
great care must be taken not to injure the
roots. In this sized pot they will generally
be found to flower. Out of the four plants
left after thinning, it is rare that more than
two remain in each pot, one of which may be
destroyed if the other appears healthy and
well established ; if not, let both remain. In
the course of their growth, water cannot be
too cautiously given, especially just before the
plants break into flower. Thus nourished, in
an airy situation near the glass, they flower
splendidly in July and August, and continue
beautiful for a long time. Synonymes: 1,

The genus Lris has long” been, as it still con-
tinues to be, a great favourite in the flower-
garden. The sword-leaved sorts, as J. ger-
méanica, &c., do best in a light loam, and

 

increase freely by suckers from the roots, or
by seeds. The tuberous-rooted ones are more
difficult to cultivate, and thrive best in a
mixture of loam, peat, and sand, as does also
the tribe to which J. pérsica belongs, as J.
alata, caucdsica, reticulata, &c. The common
bulbous species do well in common garden
soil, the more sandy the better. J. dwberdsa
is purgative, and J. versicolor and vérna are
used in the United States as cathartics. Sy-

Or. 1, Nat. Or. Iriddcee. A genus of very
handsome plants when in flower. We re-
commend them to be grown in a mixture of
sandy loam and decayed leaves, or peat soil.
When they have done flowering, they require
no water till they begin to grow afresh. In
October, they should be fresh potted, and set
in a cool frame, as they only require to be pro-
tected from frost till their pots are well filled
with roots; then they may be set on the shelves
of the greenhouse, and watered regularly, and
they will flower well. The species of this

~ 1774

 

genus, and some other bulbous-rooted genera,
succeed best in a pit, covered with lights in
very cold or wat weather. Most of the species
will grow well in a south border, in the open
air, planted from five to six inches deep, in a
light sandy soil, near a wall, and to be covered
with dry litter in severe weather; they will
then flower much stronger than if grown in
pots, and they may be increased by offsets
from the bulbs, or by seeds. See Babiana,

are of easy culture in a mixture of sand and
peat. It is thought that watering these
plants occasionally with salted water, has a
tendency to make them grow and flower more
freely. Cuttings will root in sand, under a
glass, in heat; but they are by no means easy
of propagation.

Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Jasmindcee. The
species of this very elegant genus are familiar
to every one. The stove and greenhouse
kinds thrive well in a mixture of sand, loam,
and peat; and cuttings of the ripened wood
root freely in soil or sand, under a glass, in
heat. The hardy kinds thrive well in any
common soil, and are easily increased by cut-
tings planted under a glass. They are re-
markably well adapted for training over an
arbour, or against a wall, or trellis-work. The
genuine oil of Jasmine of the shops is the pro-
duce of J. grandiflérum and officinale ; but a
similar perfume is obtained from J. Sdémbac.

JArropuHa, Linn. From tatros, physician, and

Or. Euphorbiacee. The species of this genus
are only valuable in a medicinal point of view.
They thrive well in sandy loam and peat, in
small pots, with little water. Most of the
species ripen seed freely if care be taken to
fertilise the stigmas with the pollen. Cut-
tings root very readily stuck in the tan, in a
strong heat. The seeds of /. Carcas are pur-

Justfcra, Linn. In honour of J. Justice, an
eminent Scotch horticulturist and botanist.
Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Acanthdcee. An ex-
tensive, highly interesting, and ornamental
genus of plants, which mostly flower very
freely. The stove and greenhouse shrubby
and herbaceous kinds grow well in any light
soil, or loam and peat mixed, and may be mul-
tiplied by cuttings in sand, under a glass, the
stove kinds in heat. The seeds of the annual
and biennial kinds must be raised in pots, in a
hothouse, or hotbed frame, and when trans-
planted, treated as other tender annuals and.
biennials. The flowers, leaves, and roots of
J. Adhétoda are said to possess antispasmodic

qualities. J. Eebdlium is supposed to be diu-
retic. J. paniculata is the base of the French

bitter tincture called Drogue Amére, which is
highly valued for its stomachic and tonic pro-
perties. Synonymes: 1, J. quadrangularis ;
2, J. flavicoma; 3, Eustachidéma ; 4, oblongata ;

genus of plants, especially Z. regine, the
flowers of which are produced in panicles ;
they are at first pale rose-coloured, and gradu-
ally deepen to a beautiful purple. The soil
best adapted to these plants is a mixture of
peat and loam. All the species, except L.
indica and its variety, are rather difficult to
cultivate ; they require a strong heat, and
very little water in winter. In summer, they
grow freely, and require plenty of room to
grow, with a good supply of water; cuttings
root readily in sand, under a glass, in heat.

highly ornamental, and some of them are ex-
tensively cultivated for their timber, which is
adapted to a variety of useful purposes, The
larch grows rapidly in almost any soil, and in
any situation, yet its timber can only be
brought to perfection when the trees are grown
in a clear dry atmosphere, on a cold-bottomed
soil, rather moist on the surface. Young
plants are obtained from seed, which should

be sown in April, on finely-prepared soil.
After the seeds are sown, a light roller should
be @rawn over the bed, to press the seeds
firmly into the earth, and they should then
have a thin covering of soil.. The plants are
generally allowed to remain two years in the
seed-bed, and afterwards planted into nursery
lines, or where they are finally to remain. As
the Larch vegetates earlier than most other
trees, and suffers more if removed after it has
begun to grow, it ought to be transplanted in
autumn, or early in spring. We have adopted
the naines of the species and varieties as given
by Mr. Loudon in his very valuable work, the

Latrus, Pliny. From the Celtic word blaur
(laur, the b is dropped), signifying green, in
allusion to the foliage of the plants. Linn. 9,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Lawrdcee. This is a very
handsome and interesting genus of plants.
The stove and greenhouse kinds do well ina
mixture of sandy loam and peat, and ripened
cuttings generally root freely in sand, under
a glass; the stove species in a moist heat.
Among the most interesting and valuable of
the hardy kinds is ZL. ndbilis, or bay-tree,
which is injured by severe frost: it is, there-
fore, best to protect the plants with mats
when young; they will grow freely in com-
mon garden soil, and in the warmer coun-
ties where the weather does not hurt them,
they attain the size of trees. LZ. Benzotn, L.
Sdssafras, and several others, are deciduous,
and in some situations attain a great size.
They may be increased by layers, or cuttings
of the roots. The bark of LZ. Benzvin is stim-
ulant and tonic, and in North America it is
used in intermittent fevers. In L. fétens an
acrid red, or violet juice, is particularly abun-
dant. All the species are more or less aro-
matic and stomachic. Synonymes: 1, Evés-
mus dlbidus; 2, Lawrus Borbdnia; 3, L.
californica. See Cinnamomum, Pérsca, Litsca,

currence of Linnzus, selected this little de-
pressed, abject, early-flowering, long-over-
looked northern plant, to transmit the illus-
trious name of Linneus to posterity. Linn.
14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Caprifoliacee. This ele-
gant little plant is not only a native of the
Jand which gave birth to Linneus, but also of
Lapland, Norway, Russia, Germany, Switzer-
land, Savoy, Siberia, &c. In Scotland, the
plant was first found in an old fir-wood at
nglismaldie, on the borders of Mearns-shire,
in 1795, and since then in several similar
situations in the highlands of Scotland. In
North America, it has been found in a number
of districts, but most plentiful in Canada.
It should be grown in a peat border, in a
shady situation, where it will grow and flower
freely. It will also grow luxuriantly in large
pots, filled with peat earth; it is easily in-
creased by separating the erceping stems when
rooted. The American plants are commonly
stronger than the European ones. ~

The greenhouse and frame kinds grow best in
a mixture of loam and peat, and cuttings root
freely under a. glass. The hardy shrubby
kinds do well in any light soil, and are in-
creased by cuttings under a glass. The hardy
herbaceous species are well suited for orna-
menting flower-borders ; but the dwarf kinds
do best on rock-work, or even grown in pots,
that they may be protected by a frame in
frosty or very wet weather; they may be
increased by divisions of the roots, by cuttings,
or by seeds. The annual and biennial species
should be sown in the open ground in April.
The fibres of LZ. usitatissimum is the flax of
commerce, from which Tneat cloth is made.

Liniopinpron, Jussieu.’ From leirion, a lily,
and dendron, a tree ; the flower produced by
this tree bears some resemblance to a lily, but
is more like a tulip. Linn. 13, Or. 6, Nat. Or.
Magnoliacee. The Tulip-tree grows to a con-
siderable height before it will produce its
flowers, which are large. It is well suited for
planting singly on lawns, or for forming
avenues. It is generally increased from im-
ported seeds, which should be sown in March,
in a light rich soil, well exposed to the sun,
and covering them about half an inch deep.
They commonly remain two years in the
ground before they come up. From the tonic
quality of L. tulipifera, it has beeti said to be
equal to Peruvian bark. The wood of this
tree is smooth and fine-grained, very easily
wrought, and not liable to split. It is used in
carving and ornamental work, but is generally
used in this country to make the panels of
coach and chaise bodies.

LisiAntuus, Linn. From lysis, dissolution,
and anthos, a flower ; in allusion to its being a
powerful cathartic. Zinn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or.
Gentiandcee. A mixture of loam, sand, and
peat is the soil best suited for these ornamental
plants. Cuttings of the shrubby and herba-
ccous kinds strike freely in sand, under a
glass. LZ. Russellianus is the most splendid
of the genus; it was discovered by the la-
mented Drummond in Texas, who described it
as ‘‘not excelled in beauty by any plant.”

 

The flower is large, handsome, borne in a ter-
minal panicle; the corolla is as large as a
tulip, of a fine rich purple, with a very deep
eye in the centre. The flower continues per-
fect for two or three weeks. By forcing it
early in the spring, and planting out in_the
open border, it will probably be found to
flower as freely as Phléx Drumméndit. It is
figured as an annual, but is very likely to
prove biennial. Synonymes: 1, L. tetragonus,

Caryophyllacee. An extremely beautiful genus
of plants, well meriting extensive cultivation
for the brilliancy of their flowers. Among the
most showy and esteemed of the border flowers,
is L.. Chalcedénica, the double varieties of

which require some care to prevent them from-

returning to a single state. LZ. falgens and
grandiflora are truly beautiful ; the latter will
grow and flower well if planted out in the open
border in spring, but it must be taken up in
autumn, or the frost will kill it. They all
grow freely i in light rich loamy soil ; but they
must be frequently divided, or they will dwin-
dle away, and the best time to do this is early
in spring. The seed of the annual species has
only to be sown in the open border in spring.
L. Cali Rosa is very handsome. Synonymes :

markably handsome shrubs, should be planted
in conspicuous situations, where they will
flower profusely when they attain a good size.
M. glatica and some others grow best in a peat
soil in a moist situation. They are generally
increased by layers put down in spring or
autumn, or by seeds; when the layers are first
taken off, they should be potted in a mixture
of loam and peat, and placed in a close frame
till they have taken fresh root. None of the
leaves should be taken off or shortened, nor
any shoots be cut off, or their tops shortened,
as they will not succeed so well ; for the more
branches and leaves are on, the sooner they
will strike fresh root. The Chinese kinds are
often inarched or budded on, M. obovata, and
take readily. Tbe greenhouse kinds thrive
best in a mixture of peat and loam, and are
also increased by inarching or budding on .
obovata, one of the readiest growing kinds. JZ.
fuscata, and any of the weak-growing species,
increase with facility from cuttings taken off
as soon as ripe, and planted in a pot of sand,
under a glass. The seeds of the North Ame-
rican species are received annually from that
country. They should be sown as soon as pos-
sible after their arrival in pots of light rich
earth, covering them half an inch deep : these
may be placed either in a hotbed or a warm
sheltered situation, or they may be sown in
the open ground, and when the plants are of
sufficient size, they should be planted out
singly into pots, and sheltered till they have
taken fresh root, and they should be protected
from the frost by a frame for two or three suc-
cessive winters, giving them the benefit of the
open air in mild weather. Synonymes : 1,

Or. Orchidacée. This very singular plant was

of Lambeth, who received it from Rio in 1836.
It is a remarkable genus, resembling Megacli-
nium in some respects, but belonging in reality
to Vandece, among which it is marked by the
nearly total absence of the petals, the cirrhate
column, and the soft fleshy cinnamon-coloured
gland, to which a pair of reniform pollen
masses are slightly attached. In this division
of Orchidacee, it is uncertain where it must
stand ; probably other genera still undiscovered
will connect it with the system better than
can at present be done.

every garden, on account of its large cream-
coloured blossoms. The plant should be kept
in the greenhouse, for though sufficiently hardy
to stand our winters in the open air, the young
shoots often get injured by frost, the summer
not being long enough to ripen the wood, or
even to flower it in perfection. The best soil
for it is peat, mixed with a little loam ; and it
is readily increased by layers, or cuttings of

the ripened wood, in sand, under a glass. See

MatvAcea#, or Matiow-worts, constitute a
large order of well-known plants. The uni-
form character of them is to abound in muci-
lage, on which account they are valuable for
poultices and other medicinal and domestic
uses.

Matvaviscus, De Candolle. From malva, a
mallow, and viscus, glue. Linn. 16, Or. 8,
Nat. Or. Malvacee. This is a genus of very
desirable plants, on account of their rich
scarlet flowers. The soil best adapted to them
is a mixture of loam and peat, and cuttings
root readily in sand, under a glass; these
should be taken off as near the stem of the
plant as possible, not being so apt to rot as
when taken off by the middle of the shoot.
None of the leaves should be taken off or
shortened above the sand. Synonymes: 1,

Mammia, Linn. Mamey is the aboriginal name
of the species.
Clusiacee. M. americana is a tall tree with a
thick, spreading, elegant head, somewhat re-
sembling Magndlia grandiflora. In the West
Indies it is cultivated for the sake of its fruit,
which is much esteemed, and is eaten alone,
or cut in slices with wine or sugar, or pre-
served in sugar. It grows freely in sandy
loam, and cuttings of the ripened wood, with
the leaves not shortened, will root in sand,
under a glass, in a moist heat.

Linn. 12, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Cactacee, This
genus contains some very beautiful plants, and
all highly-deserving of a place in every collec-
tion of plants, on account of their very curious
and interesting habit. To grow them well,
they require the following treatment :—About
the middle of April they should be fresh
potted in peat and a little sand mixed, and
then plunged in heat, in a pit or frame, where
the temperature must be kept from eighty-
five to ninety-five degrees, not giving them
much water until they have started afresh, and
then may be added gentle waterings over head,
occasionally in the afternoon; they should be
closed early, and air given early in the morn-
ings, and shade during sunshine ; by treating
them in this manner, they will make an
amazing growth in the three following months,
when they may be gradually hardened before
removing them back to the succulent house ;
they are increased by offsets, and some of the
kinds occasionally produce seeds if fertilised.

plants. Linn. 5, Or, 1, Nat. Or. Apocynaceee.
This very fine climber is remarkable for its
deliciously sweet and very beautiful snowy-
white flowers. It also blooms most abun-
dantly ; but if raised from seeds, like all seed-
ling shrubs, its first stage of growth is more
productive of foliage than blossoms. In order
to grow the plant to perfection it should be
placed out in the border of the conservatory.
If cultivated during summer in the open air, or
in pots in the greenhouse, it grows freely, but
does not flower. After the flowering season is
over, the plants should be pruned similarly to
vines or other plants which bear their flowers
and fruit upon the wood ofthe same year. It
may be propagated by cuttings or seeds, sown
in a pit, with a little heat.

plants are well worth cultivating for the beauty

 

name of the tree, and fero, to bear. Linn. 23,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Anacardiacece. This is a genus
of much esteemed tropical fruit trees, thriving
well in sandy loam, or a mixture of loam and
peat. The species are readily increased by
cuttings of the ripened wood planted in sand,
under a glass, in heat. Fresh seeds imported
from the places of their natural growth, will
vegetate freely. Within the tropics, they
hardly eat any other fruit besides the Common
Mango (M. indica) during the hot months ;.
but if wine be not drunk with it, the Mango is
apt to throw out boils, which are, however,
conducive to health. The fruit of the finest
Mangos have a rich sweet-perfumed flavour,
accompanied by a grateful acidity. The Maygo
tree has been cultivated successfully for some
years in the garden of his grace the Duke of
Devonshire, at Chatsworth, and by the direction
of the late Sir Joseph Paxton, it was planted in
a prepared border in the old aquatic house,
where it grew vigorously, and annually pro-
duced fruit. It has now become fully estab-
_ lished in this situation, and during the two
last years, 1865 and 1866, under the careful
management of his grace’s gardener, Mr. Tap-
lin, it has borne most abundant crops of well-
formed and good-flavoured fruit. Synonyme :

This genus of plants originally found its way
into our gardens in 1839, the M. glabrata
having been raised from Swan River seeds by
Robert Mangles, Esq., of Sunning Hill. They
are proteaceous plants, allied to Grevillea, with
neat-toothed, long-stalked leaves, and very
small flowers of no beauty. It is for their
foliage alone that they will be cultivated. ~

Maruiota, R. Brown. In honour of Peter
Andrew Mathioli, a famous Italian physician,
and author of a commentary on the works of
Dioscorides ; he died in 1757. Linn. 15, Nat.
Or. Brassicacee, This is a genus of old and
well-known inhabitants of the garden. In
order to obtain good double Stock-gilliflowers,
Brompton and Queen-stocks, choice should be
made of such single-flowering plants as grow
near many double ones. The seed should be
sown in May, and after they have reached two
or three inches high, they should be thinned
at least nine inches asunder, and the plants
taken out may be planted at about the same
distance apart in the flower-border ; if the fol-
lowing winter be severe, they must be pro-
tected by mats, and in the following May and
June they will flower beautifully. Desirable
double varieties may be propagated by cut-
tings, which root readily by being planted
under a hand-glass, and shaded. To have a
succession of the Annual, or Ten-week-stock, -

_ the seed should be sown in February, March,
April, and May, and the plants from the May
sowing will continue to flower till Christ-
mas. In preserving plants of the Stock-gilii-
flower, and Ten-weck-stock, for seed, select only
such single-flowering plants as have _fine-
coloured flowers. he biennial and hardy
shrubby kinds should be treated in the same
manner as the Stock-gilliflower, and all the
annual kinds in the same way as the Ten-week-
stock. The greenhouse shrubby species grow
best in a mixture of light soil and sand, and
cuttings root readily under a glass, Fine
double stocks may be planted in pots, and
kept in a frame during winter. See Guettarda.

Linn. 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Scrophulariacece,
The species of this genus are very elegant,
climbing, evergreen, or herbaceous plants, and
are therefore well worthy of a place in every
garden. During summer, they will grow and
flower abundantly planted against a wall in
the open air, or at the bottom of trellis-work ;
but they require the protection of a green-
house in winter. A light rich soil suits them,
and they are easily increased by young cut-
tings planted under a glass, or by seeds,

Orchidacee. This is an extensive and very
elegant genus of plants, all of which are highly
deserving of cultivation, either for the beauty
or delicious fragrance of the flowers. MM.
Steélii is not only a very remarkable, but a very
beautiful plant ; the flowers are large, of a fine
yellow colour, irregularly spotted with dark
purple. This, and several other species, as
M. acicularis, imbrictta, racemosa, and M.
ruféscens, should be grown on wood, on which
a little moss should be placed, then the roots
of the plant put on that, with a sufficient
quantity of moss, and the whole fastened to
the wood with some metallic wire. For the
culture of the other species, see Stanhdpea.

Or. Myrtacee. This is a very desirable genus
of greenhouse or conservatory plants, on ac-
count of the neatness of their foliage, and their
splendid flowers. They thrive best in an
equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand; and
cuttings, if not too ripe, will root readily
planted in sand, under a glass. M. Lewca-
déndron and Cajuputi yield the volatile oil
of Cajuputi, well known as a powerful su-
dorific, and a useful external application in
chronic rheumatism. Synonymes:1, M. par-

MEsocLo1a. From mesos, middle, and glotos,

viscid; the spines of the branches are in a
solid mass. Zinn. 24, Or. 7, Nat. Or. FPucacec,
This genus is entirely composed of marine
plants. Synonymes: 1, Rivularia verticillata ;

Mé&spitus, Linn. From mesos, a half, and
pilos, a bullet ; in allusion to the resemblance
the fruit bears to half a bullet. Linn. 12,
Or. 2, Nat. Or. Pomacee. The Mespilus,
or Mediar, is a genus of low-growing trees ;
they are very ornamental, and are there-
fore worth a place in every shrubbery. Any
common soil suits them, and they are
readily increased by budding or grafting on
the common Hawthorn, or they may be in-
creased by seeds, which do not vegetate till
the second year after sowing. Synonymes: 1,
M. grandifiora, M. Smithii. See Ameldnchier,

Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ehretidcee. These plants are
of easy cultivation in loam and peat, and cut-
tings root readily planted in sand, under a
glass. Synonymes: 1, Tournefortia hirsutis-

Masva, Linn. In honour of Mesue, the father
and son, two celebrated Arabian physicians
and botanists ; they resided at Damascus, and
flourished in the eighth and ninth centuries.
The works of the son were published at Venice
in 1581. Linn. 16, Or. 7, Nat. Or. Clusiacece.
This tree is well deserving of cultivation on
account of its beautiful orange and white
sweet-scented flowers, which contrast finely
with the dark-green foliage. It attains the

 

height of fifty feet, and grows best in a_mix-
ture of strong loam, peat, and sand. Young
plants are commonly obtained from seeds;
cuttings will root in sand, under a glass, but
not freely. The wood is used for a variety of
purposes in the Kast Indies, being considered
harder and more durable than most other Ori-
ental timber. The dried blossoms may be
found under the name of Nagkesur in every
bazaar in India; they are used in medicine,
and universally esteemed for their fragrance.

Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacee. The
flowers of these plants are strikingly hand-
some ; the sepals and petals of M. spectdbilis

. 1828

are delicate cream-colour, and the labellum, |

which is very large, is elegantly marked with
various shades of purple, deepest towards the
pase. In Df. céndida, the scpals and petals
are yellow-brown, and the labellum pure white,
finely marked with pink. In potting these
plants, the peat should be raised, for a well-
grown, good-sized plant, two or three inches,
in the same way as recommended for Stan-
hopeas ; and the creeping stems, from which
the pseudo-bulbs grow, ought to be entirely
on the surface, and if necessary, they may be
fastened to the peat with hooked pegs. The
best way of ‘propagating the species of this
genus is, first, to cut the stem half through,
which will cause young plants to be sent
out; and, finally, to cut them through a
month before dividing. They require a
hot part of the house. Synonymes: 1,

The leaves of several of the species belonging
to this genus are more or less sensitive to the
touch, but none so much so as M. pudica ; they
are, on that account, well worth cultivating.
They grow well in loam and peat, with a little
sand; and cuttings of the young wood will
yoot in sand, under a glass. They may also
be increased by seeds. See Acacia, Darling-
tonia, Entada, Gagnedina, Inga, Lagongchium,

species, Linn. 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Serophu-
lariacee. Most of these plants are showy,
and worth cultivating, particularly the hardy
herbaceous kinds, which are well suited for
ornamenting flower-borders ; they thrive in
any common garden soil, and are readily in-
creased by divisions of the roots, or by seeds.
The greenhouse and frame species will grow
well in light rich soil, and may be increased
by cuttings in the same kind of soil, under a
glass. The seeds of the annual kinds may be
sown where the plants are intended to remain.
The leaves of AM. guitdtus are eatable as salad.

Francisco Xavier Mina, a Mexican minister.
Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convolvulacecee. A
very curious and beautiful plant, used for de-
coration by the Mexicans. When not in
flower it appears like an Ipomce in foliage,
and when in flower, if the leaves were removed,
it loses all appearance of the order to which it
belongs. Its flowers being racemose, and ar-
ranged similar to a Borage, the blossoms are at
first rich crimson, changing as they open to
orange and pale yellow. It requires the same
treatment as Jpomea,.

handsome appearance when in flower, cither in
the greenhouse or open border. They grow
well in any light rich soil, and are increased
by seeds. They may be planted out in the
open border in spring, where they will do as
well as in the greenhouse ; at the approach of
winter the roots must be taken up, and kept
dry and free from frost.

This is a genus of very beautiful plants, well
deserving of cultivation, They are half-hardy
annuals, and may be had to flower in the
greenhouse from May to the end of August, if
sown at two different seasons. Plants intended
to flower in May should be sown the preceding
September, and plants for autumn flowering
should be sown in February. The seeds should
be sown in pots, in sandy peat and leaf-mould,
and placed in the greenhouse; the young
plants should be potted off when small into
sixties, two plants in each pot close to the
side, shifting them into larger ones as they
require it, keeping them near the glass ina
dry, airy part of the house. They must be
very cautiously watered, as too much or too
little will, in a few hours, destroy the health-
iest plants ; the pots should therefore be well
drained, and the plants should not receive too
great a shift at anytime. If they are intended
to flower in the open border, the plants must
not bo planted out before the, end of May, as
the least frost kills them.

Mosa, Linn. Altered from the Egyptian Mauz,
in honour of Antonius Musa. Zinn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Musacew. To this genus belong those
universally-esteemed fruits the Banana and
Plantain, but from these plants growing to
twenty-five or thirty feet high, they are rarely
seen in perfection in this country on account
of the quantity of room required; but the
valuable species, M. Cavendishit, does not
grow more than four or five feet high, so that
any one possessing a moderate-sized house
may, with a very little trouble, be rewarded
by abundance of its excellent fruit. They
all thrive best in a rich soil, requiring
plenty of room and moisture ; they are
increased by suckers, which the old plants
produce in abundance. It is considered that
no known plant produces anything like the
same quantity of nutriment from the same
space of ground, as the Banana. It is indi-
genous to all the tropics, and amongst the nu-
merous uses to which it is applied we may
mention the following. The tops of the young
plants are eaten as a delicate vegetable; the
fermented juice of the trunks produces an
agreeable wine. The fruit is served up both
raw and stewed ; slices fried are also considered
a delicacy ; and, finally, the leaves are used
for thatching aud basket-making. Synonyme:

Amongst the most remarkable plants that
have hitherto been discovered ranks this rare
species, of which living plants were brought
in 1844 from Sierra Leone, by Mr. Whit-
field. It forms w bush about as large as
a Caméllia ; and some idea of the structure
of its flowers may be formed, when we state
that the species has been referred to the
natural order Passiflordcece by some botanists,
and to Cucurbitacee by others. The propaga-
tion of this plant may be effected by cuttings,
and in other respects its treatment should
resemble that of Gardénia, and other first-class
stove plants. Syn. 1, Whitfieldiz. :

Nepenthacece. The various species of Nepénthes
are extraordinary and singular plants, well
known under the name of Pitcher Plants;
they deserve to be grown in every collection :
some attain the height of twenty or even thirty
feet, when their appearance is inconceivably sin-
gular from the fine large pitchers which hang
gracefully from the points of the strongest
leaves. Many have supposed them to he ex-
tremely difficult of cultivation, but we have
not found the least difficulty in cultivating all
the species; indeed, we question whether the
plants at Chatsworth are not finer than plants
growing in and enjoying all the advantages of
their native soil. Experience has clearly
taught us that heat at the roots is as necessary
to the successful growth of these plants as a
heated atmosphere is indispensable to their
stems and leaves. The plants should be
potted in a compost of a little coarse fibrous
peat, mixed with a greater portion of Hypnum
Moss, and the pots to be then immersed in
moss, the heat of which should not be less
than eighty degrees, while the heat of the
house need not be, except in summer, more
than seventy. The moss in which the plants
are plunged should be kept rather wet, so that
aconstant but general humidity is given off,
which rises among them, and thus strengthens,
while it promotes their growth. Offsets are
thrown out from the base of the stem of old
plants, which, when a few inches long, or
when each offset has made three or four leaves,
are taken off, and potted singly into thirty-two-
sized pots, using the same kind of compost,
and plunging them in the moss, as before
directed, and as the plants grow, and the
rootlets in the pot become numerous, an addi-
tional sized pot should be given to each, using
precisely the same materials as before, ob-
serving to secure a good open drainage at the
bottom of each; young plants may also be
obtained from seeds. Synonymes: 1, Phyllém-
phora mirabilis, P. canthartfera.

borders, while others are not worth growing.
They prefer to grow in a light dry soil, and
are increased by dividing the roots in spring

Nicotiana, Linn. In honour of John Nicot, of

to Portugal, who procured the first seeds from

Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Solanacew. The
species of this genus generally grown as to-
baceo, are WV. Tabacum and N. macrophglla.
The popular narcotic which it furnishes is pro-
bably in more extensive use than any other,
and its only rival is the betel of the East.
The herb for smoking was brought to England
from Tobago in the West Indies, or from To-
basco in Mexico (and whence the name), by
Sir Ralph Lane, 1586. Seeds were shortly
afterwards introduced from the same quarter.
Sir Walter Raleigh first introduced smoking ;
in the house in which he lived at Islington
were his arms on a shield, with a tobacco
plant on the top. ‘‘Tobacco as used by man,”
says Du Tour, ‘‘gives pleasure to the savage
and the philosopher, to the inhabitant of the
burning desert and the frozen zone ; in short,
its use either in powder, to chew, or to smoke,
is universal, and for no other reason than a
sort of convulsive motion (sneezing) produced
by the first, and a degree of intoxication by
the two last modes of usage.’”’—Many of the
species are showy when in flower, and are well
suited for decorating the flower-borders. The
seeds require to be sown on a hotbed in
spring, and when the plants have got two or
three leaves, they should be planted into small
pots, and placed in the frame, and planted out
about the end of May, those for the open
border in conspicuous situations, and those

Orchidaccee. Two species of this remarkable
genus have been figured in Lindley’s splendid
work, entitled—Séritwm Orchidaceum, where
he makes the following remarks :—‘‘The
genus Oberonia consists principally of small,
fleshy-leaved epiphytes, inhabiting the branches
of trees in the woods of India, and having the
most tiny of flowers. Fourteen species have
been described, only a part of which have
been at present introduced to this country.
The resemblance to insects and other animal
forms, which have been perceived in the Or-
chidaceous plants of Europe, and which have
given rise to such names as Fly Orchis, &c.,
may be traced so plainly in the genus Obe-
ronia, in every species, that it alone would
furnish a magazine of new ideas for the gro-
tesque pencil of a German admirer of the wild
and preternatural. If the Brahmins had been
botanists, one might fancy they took their
doctrine of metempsychosis trom these produc-
tions. In the genera Oberonia and Dryméda,
Pythagoras would have found a living evidence
of animals transmuted into plants.” Syno-

Ouza, Linn. From elaia, olives Linn. 2, Or.
1, Nat. Or. Oledcew. The Olive is a very im-
portant genus of plants, on account of the oil,
&c., which is obtained, chiefly from some of
the varieties of O. europda. They are also
much admired for the fragrance of their flow-
ers, which renders them worthy of a place
in every collection. They grow well in loam
and peat; ripened cuttings root readily in
sand, under a glass. They may also be in-
creased by grafting on the common privet.

and very handsome genus of plants, every one
of which is highly deserving a place in every
collection.
blance to a butterfly on the wing. 0, altissi-
mum throws up from fifteen to twenty flower-
spikes, producing as many as two thousand
flowers, the colour of which is yellow, spotted
with brown, and there is the splendid O. lan-
cednum, one of the most prized in this valu-
able genus ; but to particularise, where all are
remarkable either for the beauty or the singu-
larity of the flowers, would be invidious. The
large-leaved kinds do best when grown in
rustic baskets, which can readily be suspended
from the rafters of the house; the basket
should be made of small pieces of oak nailed
together, or holes may be bored, and a piece
of strong wire run through near the end of
each, and fastened at the bottom. Some moss
and rotten wood should be placed in the bot-
tom previous to putting the plant in, in doing
which, care must be taken not to insert the
plant too deep. Moss and rotten wood must
surround the roots of the plant, but should
not on any account be raised higher than the
roots of the leaves, or they will be liable to
damp off. The small-growing kinds, as 0.
tridifélium, should be fastened on’ wood, and
treated as the Burlingténias. The other
kinds, as 0. papilio and Q. altissimum, require
to be potted similarly to the genus Stanhdpea.

and worth a place in every collection. They
thrive best in a frame in a mixture of loam,
peat, and chalk, broken small; the lights
should be put on in very wet or frosty weather.
It is advisable to have some turfy grass grow-
ing where they are planted, as they can only
be increased from seeds, which are parasitic
when young, and will lay hold of the grass
when they first vegetate. They will ripen
seed without difficulty if care be taken to rub
the pollen on the stigma. The seeds should
be sown as soon as ripe, and when come up
sufficiently, to be transplanted to where they
are to remain. Synonymes: 1, O. dicérnis, O.

the species of Oxalis have large tuberous roots,
which are eatable like the potatoe ; some of
the shrubby kinds, as Averrhéa Bilimbi, and
Carambola, bear very grateful fruit, and are
called in the East Indies Blimbing and Ca-
ramhbola. The leaves of some species are so
sensitive that they are included amongst what

_are called sensitive plants.

Oxatis, Linn. From oxys, acid; the leaves

very pretty blossoms, which are produced in

eat abundance. The stove, greenhouse, and
rame species, thrive well in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand; they should not be watered
after they have done flowering until they
begin to grow afresh, The shrubby kinds
may be increased by cuttings or seeds; the
herbaceous fibrous-rooted ones by dividing the
plants at the roots, or by seeds; the bulbous-
rooted species by offsets. Most of those
marked greenhouse may be grown in a frame,
only they must be protected from frost in

when grown only for having specimens, they
will do in pots well drained, and filled with
peat and sand, with some sphagnum moss
about their roots, and placed in pans of water.

Nat. Or. Liliacee. A genus of tree aloes,
thriving in a mixture of sandy loam mixed
with old lime and brick rubbish ; the pots in
which they are grown must be well drained,
that the moisture may readily pass off. They
require but little water in winter, and are in-
creased from suckers, or young side shoots,
when they are produced; leaves taken off
close from the stem, and laid to dry for a few
days, then planted in pots of dry soil, will
throw out young plants at their base. Syno-

flowering plants, mostly hardy enough to
endure our winters. P. Moutdén and its va-
rieties, though able to bear a moderate de-
gree of frost, do not flower so well as when
planted out in the border of the conserva-
tory ; they bear forcing well; a rich loamy
soil suits them best. The shrubby kinds
are increased from cuttings taken off in Au-
gust and September, with part of the wood
of the preceding year attached, and plan-
ted in a sheltered situation where they will
root freely. The herbaceous species are in-
creased by dividing the plants at the roots,
taking care to leave a bud to each slip; the
new varieties are obtained from seeds. Sy-

PassiFLoRA, Linn. From passio, passion, and
jlos, a flower ; in allusion to the filamentous
appendages or rays bearing a resemblance to the
emblems of the passion of our Saviour. Linn.
16, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Passiflordcee. The spe-
cies of this interesting and elegant genus are
admirably adapted for stove and greenhouse
climbers, being of easy culture, free growers,
and if allowed plenty ofroom, producing abun-
dance of beautiful flowers ; many of the kinds
produce fruit freely, from which, through im-
pregnation, several fine hybrids have been
yaised. The fruits of some, as P. edulis, laurt-
Solia, and P. quadrangularis, or Granadilia,
are eaten ; the succulent pulp which surrounds
the seeds is found to be fragrant, cooling, and
pleasant, agreeably acid, and admirably adap-
ted for allaying thirst in hot climates. P.
edalis and P. laurifolia will fruit freely in the
plant stove. P. quadrangularis bears fruit
resembling a large lime, and to cause it to pro-
duce them in abundance, should be treated as
follows :—Plant it in a large box, or in a par-
titioned off corner of a stove, or tan-pit ; if in
the latter, holes may be bored in the sides to
admit the egress of the roots into the tan.
The shoots should be trained parallel to
the glass, as vines, and treated similar to
melons, that is, the most vigorous shoots re-
moved, as they will be found not to bear so
freely as those of a moderate growth ; it will
generally be found necessary to set the fruit
by artificial impregnation, taking care to give
the plant abundance of water. All the species
will thrive well in a mixture of loam and peat,
and are easily increased by cuttings planted in
sand. The hardy kinds should be planted in

PeLareonium, L’Heritier. From pelargos, a
stork ; the capsules may be fancied to re-
semble the head and beak of a stork. Linn.
16, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Geranidcew. The shrubby
kinds of this favourite genus will thrive in any
rich soil; loam and decayed leaves will be
found a good compost for them. The pots
should be well drained with potsherds, and
the plants receive plenty of air and water
whilst in a vigorous growing state; cuttings
root freely in soil or sand, under a glass ; some
of the finer and hard-wooded kinds will be
found easier to increase by cuttings from the
roots. The tuberous-rooted kinds should be
kept quite dry when not in a growing state,
and may be increased by small offsets from
the roots. No genus is more liable than this
 

PEL 423

to sport into hybrids by promiscuous impreg-
nation. All the fine varieties which are found
in gardens have been produced by artificial
hybridisation, that is, by cutting out the
anthers of the plant intended for the female
parent before they burst, and impregnating
the stigmas with the pollen of another. Syno-

cow. This isa genus of splendid plants, the
most remarkable and interesting of which is
the P. eldt« ; it produces a long spike of
yellowish-white waxy flowers, yiclding a very
peculiar fragrance. In the neighbourhood of
Panama, it is known to the natives by the

 

appellation of ‘‘ eZ Spirito Santo,” and tho
reason for this name is quite obvious on look-
ing at the flower; the centre of it exhibits a
column which, with its summit and the pro-
jecting gland of the pollen-masses, together
with the erect wings, bears a very striking
resemblance to the figure of a Dove; whence
the English name of the genus Dove-flower.
The species should be grown in pots well
drained, in a mixture of fibrous loam, leaf-
mould, and sandy peat, and must not be over-
watered at any season, more especially when .
torpid ; they are increased by separating the
pseudo-bulbs. See Acineta. Synonymes: 1,

Linn, 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacee. This
is an interesting and valuable genus of plants,
especially P. dléus, which ought to be in every
collection of orchidaceous plants ; the follow-
ing is the best way of cultivating it :—When
the plant becomes dormant, it should be placed
in a cool house, the temperature of which, in
winter, should not be more than 45 or 50 de-
grees, After reposing the proper time, it will
begin to push from the base of the stems ; and
when the young shoots are about half an inch
in length, the plants should be repotted into
heath soil, well drained at the bottom, and
mingled with an abundance of finely-broken
potsherds, according to the usual method of
cultivating orchidaceous plants. For a mode-
rate-sized plant, the pot should be about six
inches in diameter at the top, which will allow
of its completing the annual growth without
being again potted. It will bear a free supply
of water when growing vigorously, and may
then be syringed once or twice a day, till it
shows signs of flowering, when the syringing
must be discontinued. When it has ceased
flowering, it should be kept in a cool house,
and sparingly watered until the leaves begin
to turn yellow, when it must be removed to

its winter quarters, and kept dry, merely sup-.

plying as much water as will keep the plant
alive, and taking care never to wet the stems.

PrHtenix, Linn. The Greek name of the Date.
Linn. 22, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Palmacee. The
Date of the ancients is included in this noble
genus of palms. P. dactylifera is a fine lofty-
growing tree, with a rugged trunk, and leaves
from six to eight feet long. The inhabitants
of Arabia, Upper Egypt, &c., chiefly live upon
the fruit of it; the hard stones are even ground
up as food for their camels, and of thé leaves
they make bags and baskets. In Barbary, the
midribs are used as fences for their gardens,

 

and they sometimes make use of the trunks in
small buildings. The threads of the integu-
ments between the fronds are made into ropes,
and the rigging of smaller vessels; a juice is
sometimes extracted from the tree by incisions,
or scooping holes at the top, which is after-
wards made into an agreeable wine. P. fari-
nifera contains a farinaceous substance in the
heart of the stem, which is said to be as nu-
tritive as sago. The species all aelei in a
strong rich soil, and the only way of obtaining

young plants is by seeds. Synonyme: 1, Elate
sylvéstris.

Pinus, Linn. From pinos, a Greek word used

habitat of the-tree. Zinn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or.
Pinacee. This much-esteemed and well-known
genus contains some of the trees of most uni-
versal use in civilised society, and form a
very important article of commerce both in
Europe and America. Most, if not all, of
the species are highly deserving of culture,
being very ornamental and beautiful in every
stage of their growth. They will succeed on
almost any kind of soil, but to bring the tim-
ber to its greatest state of perfection, a some-
what loamy and a cool subsoil are requisite.
Young plants may be obtained by a variety of
methods, All the species may be propagated
by layers, by inarching on nearly allied kinds,

by herbaceous grafting ; many may also be |.

increased by cuttings; but the speediest way
is by seed, and which process we shall briefly

These are noble tim- |.

 

notice. In some of the species the cones attain
their full size the first year, but, in most, not
till the end of the second autumn. The cones
of P. sylvéstris and the like, open of them-
selves shortly after being gathered from the
tree, and spread out in the sun ; but the cones
of P. Pindster, P. Pinea, and similar kinds,
do not, though treated in the same manner,
open their scales for several months. The seed
should be sown on finely-prepared rather sandy
soil, in March or April. The seeds of the
most common kinds are always sown on beds,
and after being gently beaten down, are slightly
covered with light soil. The seeds of the rare
kinds are sown in pots filled with finely-pre-
pared svil, and when up, treated like other
hardy seedlings. For a great mass of other
useful information relative to these fine trees,
indeed, for every thing that it is necessary
to know respecting them, we refer the reader
to Loudon’s Arboretum et Fruticetum Britan-
nicum, a work which ought to be in the hands
of every lover of hardy trees and shrubs.

Under Pinus, we have included the genera
Abies and Picea, of Don and other authors,
believing them to be so nearly akin as to ren-
der it unnecessary to keep them generically
distinct. We have, however, in this genus
departed a little from the original plan of the
work, by dividing it into Sections, so that
those who differ from us in opinion, will have
no difficulty in recognising the species of Abies
and Picea of authors, every species of those
genera being retained alphabetically under the
respective Sections.

well-known pepper of the shops is principally
age by P. nigrum. P. Bétle furnishes the

etle-leaf of the Southern Asiatics, in which
they inclose a few slices of the Areca-nut, and
a little shell lime ; this they chew to sweeten
the breath, and to keep off the pangs of hun-
ger, and such is the immense consumption of
this luxury in the East, that it nearly forms
as extensive an article of commerce as that of
tobacco in the West. See Peperémia.

This is a truly splendid and very desirable
genus, growing well in good open, rather sandy
Toam, mixed with a little vegetable mould ;
and in order to keep the plants in a clean,
free-growing state, they should have plenty of
water at the roots, and be frequently syringed
over the leaves and branches. In spring,
before the plants are potted, or the buds begin
to push, the branches of the previous year
should be cut down to within three or four
eyes of the old wood. These parts should be
laid to dry for a few days, and then made into
cuttings, and planted in sand, or sand and

with a glass over them, they will root very
readily, but before the cuttings are planted in
the soil, they should be dried for a day or two
in an airy part of the house.

Polygalacee, All the species of this genus
are very showy. The greenhouse kinds thrive
well in one part turfy loarn, and three parts
peat, with a quantity of sand mixed in it.
To obtain cuttings fit-for planting, the shoots
should be topped, which will cause them to
push out numerous young ones ; these should
be taken off close when in a growing state,
about three inches long, planted in pots of
saud under glass, and placed in the propagat-
ing house; the glasses must be occasionally
taken off and wiped. The hardy perennial
kinds thrive in a peat soil, and increase freely
by seeds or divisions of the roots. The annual
kinds require sowing in the open ground, pre-
ferring a peat soil. The root of P. Sénega is
diuretic, expectorant, purgative, emetic, and
sudorific; it has been used with success in
croup, and as a cure against the bite of venom-
ous reptiles. According to Barton, P. san-
guinea possesses similar qualities. Synonymes:

the form of Docks and Persicarias ; the fields,
mountains, and heaths, as Sorrels, and trailing
or twining Polygonums ; in South America and
the West Indies they take the form of Cocco-

in any light rich soil, The perennial kinds
are readily increased from seeds, or by divi-
sions of the root. The hardy annual species
merely require sowing in the open ground.
The tender kinds must be raised on a gentle
hotbed, and transplanted into the flower-bor-
der. Some species, such as P. Hydrépiper,
are extremely acrid, and said to blister the
skin. The seeds of P. Fagopyrum and tatd-
ricum are used as food, and according to Hum-
boldt, the leaves of P. hispidum are used in

 

South America as a substitute for tobacco.

24, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Polypodiacee. A genus
of very ornamental ferns. The stove and
greenhouse species require, to grow them well,
a mixture of loam and peat. The hardy kinds
are well adapted for ornamenting rock-work,
or they may be grown in pots, in light loamy
soil. All the species may be readily increased
by dividing the roots, or by spores. P. crassi-
folium is said to be sudorific and anti-rheu-
matic. In the Sandwich Islands, they use the
bruised fronds of P. phymatddes to perfume
the cocoa-nut oil. Synonymes: 1, P. scdn-

Pérutus, Tournefort. Some derive the word
Populus from paipalio, to vibrate or shake ;
others suppose it obtained its name from being
used in ancient times to decorate the public
places in Rome, where it was called arbor pé-
puli, or the tree of the people. Linn. 22, Or.
7, Nat. Or. Salicacee. Most of the species of
poplar are very ornamental, more especially in
early spring, when the catkins of the males
are produced. Their favourite place of growth
is in moist soil near a running stream ; but
they do not thrive in very marshy situations.
All the species are readily increased by cut-
tings or layers, and some by suckers. Syno-

Prostukmium, Kunze. Derived from prosthema,
an addition. Zinn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Uredi-
nacee. A very minute black fungus, found in
autumn on the trunks of trees—betulinwm.

Protea, Linn. From Proteus, a self-transform-
ing sea-god; in allusion to the diversity of
appearance of the species. Zinn. 4, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Proteacee. This is an extensive
genus of magnificent evergreen shrubs, gene-
rally considered difficult of culture ; but this
supposed difficulty may be removed by attend-
ing strictly to the watering of the plants.
The soil best suited for them is light turfy
loam, mixed with about a third part fine sand ;
the pots must be well drained, and it is ad-
visable to mix some small pieces of broken
free-stone with the soil, in potting, to prevent
them from retaining too much moisture ; the
roots are also fond of running among the free-
stone or broken potsherds. Cure must also be
taken not to let them ‘droop for want of water,
as the young roots are of a fleshy substance,
and are as liable to suffer from too much
drought as they are from too much water,
whence the necessity of the waterings bein
regular and moderate. Ripened cuttings will
root when taken off ata joint, planted thinly
in sand, and placed under a glass, but not in
heat; the glass should occasionally be removed
to allow them to dry, as they are liable to
damp off. Water them, but not over the
leaves, whenever they want it, and let them
get a little dry before the glass is placed over
them again. Synonymes: 1, P. longifolia ; 2,
P. specidsa. See Isopdgon, Leucadéndron, Leu-
cospérmum, Mimétes, Nivéenia, Petrophila, and

PsorALEA, Linn. From psoraleos, scurfy ; in
allusion to the appearance of the calyx, and
most parts of the plants. Zinn. 17, Or. 4,
Nat. Or. Fabacece. All the species are rather
handsome when in flower. The stove and
greenhouse kinds are best cultivated in loam
and peat, and cuttings root freely in sand,
under a glass. The frame and hardy sorts do-
best in peat and sand, or any light sandy soil,
and are increased by cuttings or seeds. The
biennial species must be raised on a hotbed
frame, and when potted off, kept with the
greenhouse plants. The seeds of P. corylifolia
are used by native doctors in India, and con-
sidered stomachic and deobstruent. Syno-

To this genus belong the Pear and Apple, as

either prized for their fruit or their orna-
mental appearance. In our shrubberies, they
grow in any common soil; but for the more
highly cultivated ones a deep loam is neces-
sary. They are increased by seeds, and the
established kinds are multiplied by grafting
the choicer on the common kinds. Syno-

only a few inches high, and has no attractions

best on wood, treated precisely as the species

‘Quércus, Linn. From the Celtic quer, fine,
and cuez, a tree, fine tree ; others derive it
from the Greek word chotros, a pig; because
those animals feed on the acorns. Jian. 21,
Or. 9, Nat. Or. Corylacee. All the species of
this very important genus have a highly orna-
mental appearance, either on the lawn or in
the forest ; the wood is also much superior to
that of any other tree, teak alone excepted,
for the purpose of naval architecture ; indeed,
there is no purpose in the arts to which the
wood of the oak is not applicable. Q. Saber
is very valuable on account of its being the
only tree which produces in any quantity that
very important article, cork. The bark, leaves,
and fruit, of all the species abound in astrin-
gent matter, and in tannin. The oak suc-
ceeds best in a deep loamy soil, and in a some-
what low situation. The species are generally
increased from seed; and it is only when par-
ticular varieties are to be perpetuated, that
grafting is resorted to. The seeds may either
be sown when they drop from the tree, or they
may be thoroughly dried, and preserved till
the following March ; previous to sowing, the
soil should be well prepared, and after the
drills are opened, or the earth drawn off the
beds, the acorns may be scattered along the
drills or over the beds, keeping them about
two inches apart ; before covering, the acorns
must, if sown in beds, be atted down with
the back of a spade, or the back of a wooden-
headed rake if sown in drills. They should
be covered from half an inch, to an inch and
a half deep, according to the size of the acorn,
with finely broken soil. The after culture of
the oak does not require any notice here. Sy-

Orchidaccee. R. coccinea is a truly splendid
lant. The flowers are produced on a lateral
oose panicle ; the scpals are of a pale scarlet,
obscurely and irregularly blotched ; the petals
‘are marked with yellow bands on a beautiful
scarlet ground ; the labellum is yellow and
scarlet. The plant will succeed in peat mixed
with broken potsherds, carefully placed about
the roots, so as to ensure a safe drainage ; but
‘the best way of growing it, is to plant it in
sphagnum or hypnum moss, cut short and
packed close about the roots, with a quantity
of broken potsherds to act as a drainage.
Any of the young branches taken off and
potted in moss will soon make plants, which
succeed well in any place where a strong heat
and an abundance of moisture is kept up;
when the plant has attained a good size, about
the height of six feet, it should be placed in a
house where the heat is from 65 to 70 degrees,
and kept perfectly free from moisture, except
what arises from watering and occasional
syringing. The whole of the plant should be
as near the glass and as much exposed to the
sun as possible ; and to prevent the leaves
from shrivelling too much, it may be occasion-
ally syringed in the afternoon. After being in
this house two or three months, the flower-
spikes will make their appearance; when the
flowers are expanded, the plant should be
removed to a cool house, and placed in a light
situation : it will there continue in perfection
for a great length of time. Synonymes: 1,

all weeds, inhabiting various parts of Europe
and Asia. The Mignonette (Reséda odorata) is
a familiar example of their habits,

Reskpa, Linn. From resedo, to calm or ap-
pease; the Latins considered its application
useful in external bruises. Zinn. 11, Or. 3,
Nat. Or. Resedacee. The Mignonette is an
old and universal favourite, on account of the
very pleasant odour emitted by the flowers.
In summer it merely requires the treatment of
other hardy annuals ; but to obtain flowering
plants through the winter and spring months,
two other sowings must be made; to obtain
flowering plants from December to March, the
seeds should be sown about the middle of July
upon a light, rich, open border, and the plants
potted before the frost sets in, plunged in old
tan or ashes, and covered by a frame, which
should front the west. Those fo flower from
March to June, should be sown in pots not
later than the third week in August, and
treated in a manner similar to the November
sowing. The third, or spring crop to succeed
the last, may be sown about the middle of
February ; these should be placed in a frame
in a gentle heat, and the plants thus obtained
will be in perfection by the end of May. The
suffruticose species may be increased by cut-
tings or seeds.

The hardy kinds grow in any common soil,
and are usually propagated by layers and
seeds. The plants and berries possess very
strong purgative qualities. The juice of the
berries of R, catharticus is sold under the
name of syrup of buckthorn; the French
berries of the shops are the unripe fruit of
the same species, and are used for dyein,

plants of this genus are more singular than
beautiful. A light vegetable soil, mixed with
a little brick rubbish, suits them best; and
they are readily increased by cuttings. Syno-

RuizopotAces®, or Ruaizopors. Trees of a
large size, supplying excellent ship timber.
The famous Suwarrow nuts are the produce of
Caryocar butyrdsum, and belong to this order.

Rurz6zotvus. See Caryécar.

Ruizocronisa, De Candolle. From rhiza, a
root, and kéeino, to destroy; the name is
applied in consequence of its destroying the
roots upon which it grows. Linn. 24, Or. 9,
Nat. Or. Agaricucece. This species is found
on Célchicwm and the roots of the Crocus—
Crocorum.

Ruizogens are a class of parasitical flowering
Fungi. To this class belong Raffldsia, Cyno-
méorium, and other similar productions.

Ruizdma, applied to root-like stems which spread
under ground, similar to those of the Iris.

RaizomorpHa, Roth. From rhiza, a root, and
morphe, form; the appearance of the plants.
Linn, 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Botrytacee. The
species of this genus are found beneath bark,
and in cellars—divérgens, medullaris, subcorti-
calis, subterranea,

Rauiz6puora, Linn. From rhiza, a root, and
phoreo, to bear; the branches of this tree
throw out roots very freely, which descend
into the mud; consequently, every branch
being supported by its own roots, one tree
may, in this manner, extend over a consider-
able space. Linn. 11, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Rhi-
zophoraceee. The Mangrove may be tried in
Joam and sand, well mixed, and kept moist

. by the frequent application of salted water.

It is difficult, if not altogether impossible, to

cultivate it in this country.

Mingle . .Pa.yel. .6,8. Ev. T. 10 E, Indies 1820
RuizopHoRAcEz, or Mancroves. Trees and

shrubs, natives of the sea-shores in tle tropics,

where they root in the mud, and form close

thickets down to the verge of the ocean.
 

RHI 481

Ruizopdcon, Trinius. From rhiza, a root, and
pogon, a beard, Linn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or.
Lycoperdacece. This species is found by the
waysides. Synonyme: 1, Lycopérdon gibbosum
—albus 1.

Ruopdntun, Lindley. From rhodon, a rose,

and anthos, a flower ; in allusion to the colour

of the flower-heads. Linn. 19, Or. 1, Nat.

Or. Asterdcece. These are some of the most de-

lightful annuals ever introduced to our collec-

tions. To obtain flowering plants in March,
the seed should be sown in August, in a com-
post of decayed leaf-soil and light maiden
earth, in equal parts, having the pots well
drained. The seed-pots should not be placed
in a lower temperature than 60, nor ever higher
than 80 degrees. The earth should never be
allowed to become too dry, taking care to
apply water of a temperature nearly equal to
that of the house. They will require several
shifts previous to flowering ; at the two last,
viz., those in January and March, decayed
manure should be substituted for leaf-mould,
and a small portion of white sand added to
the compost ; a second sowing should be made
in October and treated ‘as the first, and they
will flower beautifully the following May ; and

if a final sowing is effected in March, the |-

plants will be ready to plant out in the flower-
garden in May or June, where they will flower
during the autumnal months. After the
plants raised from any of the sowings have
been potted, they should be removed to a
much cooler house, and when properly estab-
lished, placed on some elevated situation near
the glass. Seed should be obtained from the
plants grown in the greenhouse.

Ruopopénpron, Linn. From rhodon, a rose,
and dendron, a tree ; because of the appearance
of the terminal bunches of flowers. Linn. 10,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ericacee. The Rhododendron
js decidedly one of the finest of all known
genera, containing some,of the most hand-
some, elegant, and showy shrubs ; all of which
are admirably adapted either for ornamenting
the greenhouse or shrubbery, or for planting
singly on lawns. Peat soil is most suitable to
these plants, but they may also be grown in
very sandy loam, or vegetable mould. Propa-
gation may be effected by layers or seeds ; if
the latter mode be preferred, the seeds must

“pe sown early in. spring, in flat pans filled
with peat soil, and the seed covered very
slightly over ; the pans should then be set in
aclose frame till the plants make their appear-
ance, taking care to water very slightly when
the soil appears dry. The seedlings having
attained to a sufficient height, so as to admit.
of their being drawn without fear of injury,

 

RHO

should be removed into other pots or pans,
using the same kind of mould. After this
removal they should be kept in a close frame
till fresh roots are produced, and they may
then, by degrees, be hardened to the air. The
small-wooded kinds may be also increased very
freely by young cuttings, planted in sand
under a glass. The tender kinds may be
easily propagated by young cuttings torn off
close to the stem, planted in sand, and plunged.
in heat under a glass. Synonymes: 1, R. aro-

Rosa, Linn. From the Celtic rhod, red; in

reference to the prevailing colour of the
flowers. Linn. 12, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Rosacea.
The name of this genus carries with it a charm
as well for the beauty as the unrivalled fra-
grance of its flowers, and it has justly been the
theme of writers, from the remotest antiquity,
as a favourite and universal object of culture
among all civilised nations. The plants vary
in size, and the colours are red, white, purple,
yellow, striped, or of almost numberless shades
and mixtures, from single to semi-double and
double. As it would be impossible to give a
standard list of the most improved cultivated
kinds, owing to the number of superior sorts
raised annually from seed, and many of the
varieties being annually lost, going out of
repute, or entirely changing their appearance
from time and local circumstances ; we would
on that account recommend those who wish to
form a selection of these popular plants, to

 

resort to the latest and best catalogue of Roses
now actually in cultivation; such as that of
Messrs. Rivers and Son, of Sawbridgeworth,
Hertfordshire, which is not only the best as a
catalogue, but as containing other particulars
worthy of the cultivator’s consideration. The
rose is propagated by every method capable of
being applied to ligneous plants ; by seeds for
new varieties, for obtaining sweet-briar, and
for stocks, The Indian, Chinese, and climb-
ing kinds, by cuttings of the young wood
placed in a gentle heat. The Moss, and Pro-
vence or Cabbage rose, by layers or suckers ;
also by cuttings of the large fleshy roots,
which being planted, and covered with a little
light rich earth, will each throw up one or
more shoots. This will be found a good and
an expeditious mode of obtaining young plants.
Budding is chiefly used to produce standard
roses, or to increase the number of kinds upon
one plant; it is also resorted to to preserve
some of the more tender kinds which languish
upon their own roots. Absa canina, or com-
mon dog-rose, is the best for budding upon ; it
is asserted by some cultivators, that all roses
flower finer and last longer, by being budded
on this stock. The Moss and Provence kinds
are well adapted for forcing in winter and
spring ; the Chinese, and other tender kinds,
for decorating the greenhouse nearly through-
out the year. To keep a succession of flowers
of the first-named kinds from Christmas, until
their natural season of flowering, a quantity
should be introduced into the forcing-house
every month from the first of October to the
first of March ; the dung heat at first should
not be more than 55 degrees, but it may
be gradually raised to 65 or 70 degrees of
Fahrenheit. The fruit of R. canina is astrin-
gent, and employed in medicine in cases of
chronic diarrhea and other maladies, The
various preparations from the flowers are rose-
water, vinegar of roses, attar, or essence of
roses, &c. Synonymes: 1, RB. AgGbrida ; 2, R.

should be sown thinly in pots, or on a shady
border, in peat soil; if grown in pots, they
should be placed in shallow pans of water, as
the species are natives of marshes or bogs.

its growth. Jinn. 22, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Salz-
cacee. An extensive genus of well-known,
useful, and ornamental trees and shrubs.
They all delight to grow in swampy places,
and are increased by cuttings ; though some of
the more rare alpine kinds root with difficulty.
Many of the species of willow are extensively
grown for the manufacture of basket-rods,
The best sorts for cultivating for hoops are
S. caprea and S. viminalis. The branches of
some of the species are used as stakes, poles,
handles to rakes, hoes, and a great variety of
economical purposes. In the north of Europe
the bark of S. ddba is used fur tanning leather,
and for dyeing yarn of a cinnamon colour, and
the leaves and young shoots are given to cattle
in a green state, or dried like the twigs of the

 

birch, and laid up for winter fodder. The
leaves of S. herbacea, soaked in water, are cm-
ployed in Iceland for tanning leather. Syno-

SAuvra, Linn. From salvo, to save ; in allusion
to the healing qualities of the sage. Linn. 2,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Lamidcee. This -is a very
extensive genus, consisting chiefly of ex-
tremely showy flowering plants, well worthy of
cultivation. They are easily grown in a rich
light soil, The shrubby kinds increase freely
by cuttings of the young wood, under a glass ;
those of the stove species must be placed in
heat ; the herbaceous kinds must be multiplied
by division of the roots. The seeds of the
annual and biennial kinds simply require to
be sown in the open ground where they are
intended to bloom. The common sage, Sdlvia

SaAxIFRAGACES, or SAXIFRAGES, are herbaceous
plants, for the most part well known. They
are all natives of mountains in Europe and the
northern parts of the world, being found near
the regions of perpetual snow. Some are
found on old walls and rocks, and-in shady
groves ; but none are met with in the tropics.

Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Dipsacacee. Some
of these plants are well adapted for ornament-

are readily increased by division at the root,

or by seed. The seeds of the annual kinds
merely require sowing in the open border.

extremely beautiful and showy annuals. A
light fresh soil, not too rich, appears to suit

seed be sown in an open border early in
spring ; they may also' be reared on a hot-bed
in spring, planting a portion in the open
border, and growing the remainder in pots in
the greenhouse, with a free admission of air
and light. To procure flowering plants early
in summer, the seed should be sown in pots
during the autumn, and the plants kept in a
frame or greenhouse throughout the winter.

Sempervivym, Linn. From semper vivo, to
live for ever ; the tenacity of life of the House-
leek is well known. Zinn. 11, Or. 7, Nat.
Or. Crassuldcece. These interesting plants are
worthy of a place in every collection. The
greenhouse species succeed best in a mixture
of sandy loam and brick rubbish ; and when
not in flower, they must be very eEingy
watered. Cuttings taken off, and laid to dry
for two or three days, will root very freely.
The readiest way of obtaining cuttings from
8. tabuleforme and some others, is to cut the
top out, when lateral shoots will be immedi-
ately produced. The hardy kinds succeed best
on walls or rock-work, and are easily increased
by offsets. The juice of the common house-
leek, S. tectorwm, applied either by itself or
mixed with cream, gives immediate relief in
burns, and other external inflammations.

Mostly free-flowering plants, of no beauty,
thriving in any rich soil; and increased by
seeds, which they produce in abundance. The
shrubby kinds may be increased by cuttings,
placed in sand, under a glass. They are for
the most part stove plants. S. cordifolia,
mixed with rice, is used to alleviate the
bloody flux. The bark of several of the species
is so tenacious as to be manufactured into
cordage. Synonymes: 1, Abutilon Avicénnic ;

or Cape gooseberry (Physalis), the love-apple
or tomata (Lycopérsicum), and the deadly night-

SontAnpra, Zinn. In honour of Daniel Charles
Solander, LL.D., F.R.S., a Swede, companion
of Sir Joseph Banks in his voyage round the
world, and collector of the botanical notes
made during that expedition. They are pre-
served in the British Museum, and exhibit
great learning and deep research. Linn. 5,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Solandcew. This is a splendid
genus of plants; the foliage being very fine,
and the flowers large, like those of the Brug-
mdnsia, The best way to induce them to
flower is to grow them in two parts turfy loam
and one of ‘peat, liberally applying heat and
water till they have perfected a good growth;
then gradually withhold water until the leaves
drop off from drought, and they will flower
profusely. Cuttings, planted in mould or tan,
will root without any difficulty. Those taken
from the flowering shoots are more likely to
produce flowers while small.

Sonanum, Zinn. The derivation of this word is
quite uncertain ; some derive it from Sod, the
sun; others say it is Swlanum, from sus, being
serviceable in disorders of swine; and others
assert that it is from solor, to comfort, referring
to its soothing, narcotic effects. Linn. 5, Or.
1, Nat. Or. Solandcece. All the more showy
species of this extensive genus thrive best in a
light rich’ soil, and are readily increased by
seeds, or by cuttings, in sand, under a glass.
A great number of them are highly deserving
of cultivation, on account of their ornamental
appearance. The seeds of the tender annual
species should be raised on a hotbed, and
planted out in the open ground about the end
of May in a sheltered, dry situation. S. tube-
rosum is that well-known and invaluable root,

“the potato, which, in a state of putrefaction, is
said to give out a most vivid light, sufficient to
read by. This was particularly remarked by
an officer on guard at Strasburg, who thought
the barracks were on fire, in consequence of
the light thus emitted from a cellar full of

otatoes. S. nigrum and some others are
igh virulent poisons. SS. Dulcamara is a
very dangerous plant; when first bruised or
chewed it is bitter, which quickly gives place
to a considerable degree of sweetness, hence its
name, Dulcamara, or Bitter-sweet. The berries
may be readily taken for currants by children ;
they excite vomiting and catharsis. Floyer
states that thirty of them killed a dog in less
than three hours, remaining undigested in the
stomach. Synonymes: 1, Nyctérium amazo-

Or. 1, Nat. Or. Loganiacee. These plants are
showy when in blossom, and therefore worth
growing; a compost of loam and peat suits
them best, and cuttings of the herbaceous
species root freely in the same kind of soil,
under a glass. The roots of 8S. marildéndica
are used in North America as a vermifuge, and
if administered in large doses, it acts as a
powerful cathartic. ‘

SranHodpea, Hooker. In compliment to Earl
Stanhope, president of the Medico-botanical
Society. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orechi-
dacece. The species of Slanhdpea are splendid
plants when in flower, particularly S. Devoni-
énsis and S. tigrina, both of which are at
present rare in collections. The flowers of all
the species are more or less fragrant. The fol-
lowing is the method of cultivating these favou-
rite plants at Chatsworth :—Over the drainage-
hole of the pot to be used for large plants, is
inverted one of a smaller size, generally cover-
ing about half the bottom of the pot; above
and around this is carefully thrown a quantity
of broken pots, sufficient to fill the remaining
cavity to within oue third of the top. A suffi-
cient quantity of tibrous, moderately-sandy peat
is next selected, and placed on the top of the
drainage, being first broken into various forms
and sizes, but none of them less than a walnut.
In placing these, care is taken to dispose of
each, so as to leave a passage for the escape of
water ; this is more effectually secured by in-
troducing, as the process of potting goes on, a
few pieces of broken pots between every layer,
more or less, according to the size of the plant;
indeed, it is an excellent plan to continue a
connexion of broken pots all the way up the
centre, to the bottom of the pseudo-bulbs.
After the peat becomes lcvel with the summit
of the pot, the successive external layers are
made fast by means of small pegs, varying
from four to six inches long: these pegs pene-
trate the layers of peat, and thus secure the
whole firmly together. At cight inches above
the edge of the pot the plant is placed on the
top, the roots are carefully laid out, and
covered up to the bulbs very carefully with
smaller pieces of peat and potsherds, continu-
ing to fasten the peat as before described, until
the whole is finished ; when it will be a foot or
fifteen inches above the top of the pot ;—small
plants are not potted so high. When a single
pseudo-bulb is first potted, it should be but
very slightly raised above the level, and when
a small plant of two or three bulbs is potted,
it should not, at first, be raised more than two
or three inches, but as it grows larger it is pro-
gressively elevated. In building up, as is here
described, with peat, it does not terminate in
the shape of a cone, but is carried up nearly
square, being merely rounded a little at the.
top. Unless the plants are very healthy, water
is given but sparingly. at the roots, and in
Winter very little or none is supplied; the
great desideratum in the cultivation of Orchi-
dace being to preserve the roots, which, by
over-watering, especially in winter, are almost
sure to be destroyed. he general temperature

of the house ranges from 60 to 85 degrees ; in
the afternoon, during the growing season, it is
shut up early, and the paths well watered, and
once or twice a week a little water is sprinkled
over the plants. They may also be grown
well in open wire baskets filled with fresh
moss and potsherds, the baskets being hung
from the roof of the house, the flowers are
seen to great advantage. Young plants are
obtained by taking off one or more of the bulbs,
potting them in proper sized pots, in the above
soil, well drained, and placing them in a warm
situation; being careful, in watering, not to
allow the smallest quantity to rest upon the
young buds. After they have formed roots,
increase the size of the pots, and in other re-
spects attend to them as before recommended.

of plants, well worth cultivating for their
grotesque appearance, and their singularly
beautiful starlike flowers, which have usually a
very fetid smell. The soil best suited for
them is sandy loam and old brick or lime
rubbish. The pots should be well drained, and
the plants at ail times carefully watered,
except in .winter, when they must be kept
in a perpetually dry state. They are readily
increased by cuttings, which should, if possible,
be only taken off in spring, when the plants
are dormant. They should be allowed to dry
for a few days after they are taken from the
mother plant ; after which they may be planted
in separate pots, in the same compost as before
recommended, when they will strike root ina
very short time. Synonymes: 1, 8. dejléxa ; 2,

8. floribunda is a delightful plant ; both species
are well adapted for planting out in the stove,
or for cultivating in pots; they should be
favoured with a brisk heat in the growing
season, both to their roots and tops, and be
potted in a mixture of turfy loam and heath-
mould, or leaf-mould. Increase is easily
effected by cuttings in the usual way.

STERCULIACE®, or STERCULIADS, are large trees

or shrubs, natives of the warmer parts of the

world. To this group belongs the Baobab tree

(Adansonia digitata), the Silk-cotton tree

(Bémbax Céiba), and the Durion tree (Dirio

Zebethinus), the fruit of which is highly

esteemed. These may be named as examples

of the character of the order.

TAcutA, Aublet, From Tachi, which, it is said,
signities an ant’s nest ; a name applied in its
native country to 7. Guianénsis on account

- of its trunk and branches being usually full of

ants ; this species, we believe, is not yet in-
troduced to this country. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Gentianacee. These plants will grow
freely in a mixture of peat, sand, and loam ;
a small portion of the last will suffice ; ctittings
planted in sand, under a hand-glass, in heat,
will strike, root. readily. The species are
rather difficult to keep through the winter, in
this country, on account of their being liable
to damp off ; and in order to prevent this, they
should be very sparingly watered in damp
weather. Synonymes:-1, Lisidnthus cordi-

Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Apocyndcee. These
remarkable plants may be referred to Taberna-
montana for cultureand propagation. 7”. vene-
niflia is the celebrated ordeal tree of Mada-
gascar. The fruit is yellow; and incloses a
fibrous stone or nut; the kernel inclosed in
this stone, or nut, is said by some to be the
part used for the ordeal, and to be infused in
a liquid of which the accused person is made
to drink ; others say the infusion is made
of the entire fruit. The custom of adminis-
tering Tanghin as an ordeal, in Madagascar,
has recently become far more universal”
than at any former period of the Huwa
government. When her late Majesty, in
the beginning of 1830, came to the resolution
of cleansing her lands from sorcerers, an ordeal
was commanded in every town and village ;
and in Tannanarivoo scarcely any class of the
inhabitants escaped. On the 9th of May,
1830, in compliance with the sovereign’s man-
date, a notable administration of Tanghin took
place. The accused persons amounted to about
thirty, including some of the highest rank in

‘the kingdom. All the nobility recovered,

while the unknown plebeians, who, according
to the common jugglery, had been compelled
to drink with them, died. The former made
the usual triumphant entry into the town, on
the 17th, borne in open palanquins, amongst
the shouting, dancing, and grimaces of the
many thousands of people. In the following
month, about an equal number of Malagassy
ladies submitted to the same ordeal ; but all
survived, and, in due course, made a grand
entry into the town. The Tanghin is adminis-
tered in private, as well as in public. A sub-
ject so deeply rooted in the minds of all the
Malagassy people, from the sovereign down to
the slave, is the belief in witchcraft; and so
blindly are they led on by this belief, that a
whole nation may be considered as labouring
under a spell, as powerful as the fascination
which they attribute to the unfortunate sor-
cerers themselves. Synonymes: 1, Cérbera

TELOPEA, R. Brown. From Telopas, seen at a
distance ; alluding to the great distance from
which its crimson-coloured blossoms are dis-
cernible in its native country. Zinn, 4, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Protedcee. This magnificent plant is
considered to be rather difficult of culture. A
light soil, composed of equal parts of sandy
loam and heath mould, with a good proportion
of sand and gritstone, well incorporated, ap-
pears to suit it best. The pot in which it is
grown must be well drained ; and in watering,
care must be taken never to allow the plant to
flag, nor yet to over-water it. Though it re-
quires very little water in the winter season,
it must have a good supply in the summer
months, particularly while growing freely. It
should always be kept in a light, airy part of
the house. It may be propagated by cuttings,
in sand, under a glass; but young plants may
be obtained readier, and with greater certainty,
by layers ; as the plants naturally produce an
abundance of suckers, which may be easily
laid down into small pots, introduced round
the one in which the plant is growing. In
summer, the Warratah succeeds well in an
airy part of the greenhouse, but in winter, it
subsists better in a cool, airy part of the stove.

increased by seeds, or by young cuttings
planted in sand, under a glass; those of the
stove species, in heat. ‘‘The leaves and
branches of J. toxicdria, well pounded, and
thrown into a river or pond, very soon affect
the water, and cause it to intoxicate the fish,
so as to make them float on the surface as if
dead ; most of the large ones recover after a

“Mr, Fortune has proved that the Chinese
manufacture black and green tea from the same

 

plant ; and it is now generally agreed that the
 

THE

two supposed species, 7. Bohea and 7. viridis,
are nothing more than varieties of one species,
for which Linneus’ name 7’. chinensis is adopt-
ed, and of which the Assam tea plant, sometimes
called Thea assamica, is merely a third variety,
or perhaps, indeed, the wild type. The black
and green teas are, however, mainly the growth
of different districts of China, but the two kinds
may be produced in either district, the differ-
ence being caused solely by the diverse methods
of preparation.”

Dr. Edward Smith, the most recent investiga-
tor of the action of tea, sums up its action thus:
—‘‘It increases the assimilation of food, both
of the flesh and heat-forming kinds; and with
abundance of food it must promote nutrition,
whilst in the absence of sufficient food it in-
creases the waste of the body.”

or chocolate-nut, grow well in a mixture ot
loam and peat; and cuttings root readily in
sand, under a glass, in heat. Seeds do not
retain their vegetative power fora great length
of time. The seeds of Z. Cacdo furnish the
chocolate of the shops. The seeds are very
nourishing and agreeable to most people, and
are, therefore, kept in the majority of the
houses in America as a necessary part of the
provisions of the family. See Guazdma.

some tree, with a tuft of long, evergreen
branches at the top of its simple stem, some-
thing like a palm-tree. It is well worth cul-
tivating, on account of its long, holly-like
leaves. A mixture of peat, loam, and sand,
suits it best; and cuttings, with the leaves
entire, root readily in sand, under a glass, in

them is by seed ; for when the plants are sepa-

plants, well worth cultivating in every collec-
tion. They thrive well in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand; and cuttings of the ripened

 

resin of the Eastern variety is used instead of
incense at sacrifices. Why it is called Arbor
Vitce is not known, unless it be on account of
the supposed medicinal qualities of its berries.
In the East, the cypress is called the tree of
life ; and its berries are considered a cure for
 

THU

all diseases. Zinn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Pi-
nacee. In Britain the species of Arbor Vite
.can only be considered as ornamental, low
shrubs or trees, well deserving of being culti-
vated, especially 7. péndula; which, on ac-
count of its very graceful, long, slender, pen-
dulous shoots, ought to be in every collection.
The American and European kinds succeed
well in any soil or situation, but prefer low,
sheltered, and swampy places. The more
tender species, natives of China, require,
when young, the protection of the greenhouse.
They are all readily increased by seeds, either
imported from the places of their natural
growth, or gathered from the trees in this
country ; some of the rarer kinds, as 7. pén-
dula, are propagated by cuttings. Synonymes :

order ; the bark of all the species is so caustic,
that, if chewed, it causes excessive pain.

culture, and may be increased with facility
either by divisions, slips, cuttings, or by seeds
sown in March or April. Some of the rarer
species may be grown in pots among alpine
plants, and protected in winter. The different
purposes to which Thyme is applied are so
well known, as not to require any notice here,

Tita, Linn. The etymology of this word is

entirely unknown ; in Dutch it is called Zin-
den, in Anglo-Saxon Lind, and in English
Lime-tree. Linn. 18, Or.1, Nat. Or. Tiliacee.
Ornamental, lofty-growing trees, well suited
for avenues and parks. They thrive well in
any soil, and are increased by layers or seeds ;
if by layers, the tree must be cut down close
to the ground, and from its roots a great num-
ber of shoots are produced, in the following
year ; these will be strong enough to lay down
the following autumn. Trees raised from seed
are far preferable to those raised from layers.
The Russian bass-mats are made from the
inner bark of the lime-tree ; while the wood,
from its being light and white, is much used
by the carver, and musical instrument-maker.

leguminous plants have been highly extolled ;
yet the red clover for mowing, and the white
for pasturage, far excel all other plants in
these respects. All the species thrive in com-
mon garden soil, and many of them, ‘being
very showy, are well suited for ornamenting
the flower-borders. The perennial kinds are
readily increased by dividing the plants at the
root in spring, or by sceds. The seeds of the
annual and biennial kinds only require sowing
in the open border. Those species marked
frame and greenhouse, require protection only
in winter. Synonymes: 1, 7. Cupdni; 2, T.

acquisitions to every collection. The green-
house and frame species thrive in any light
rich soil; and are readily increased by cut-
tings in the same kind of soil, under a glass.
The annual species should be sown in the open
ground in spring. The tuberous-rooted kinds
succeed well in the open air, in a sheltered
situation, during summer ; in winter they may
be taken up and kept in sand until spring,
when they may be again planted out into the
open ground. The seeds of 7. majus are
pickled, and used as capers, to which they are
preferred by some. The roots of 7. tuberosum
are eaten in Pern. Synonymes: 1, T. poly-

TryMALIUM, Fenzl. Not explained. Linn. 5,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Rhamnacee. This species is

well deserving a place in every collection of |,

greenhouse plants, on account of its snow-
white flowers; which, being produced in nu-
merous loose, drooping panicles, render it .a
very beautiful object when in blossom ; its
flowers are also deliciously fragrant. The wood
is said to be soft and pithy, and the plant apt
to die off in winter, if overpotted, and not
kept in a warm and light situation : in other
respects, it may be treated as the greenhouse
species of Ceandthus.

Toser, Michaux. An ancient Roman name for
a fungus. Linn. 24, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Helvel-
lacee. T. cibartum is the famous truffle, so
celebrated in the annals of cookery. It grows
under ground, and is found in light dry soils,
in some of the southern counties; but it is
much more common in Italy, Germany, and
the south of France, whence immense quanti-
ties are imported. Dogs are taught to find
this fungus by the smell, and to scratch it up
out of the earth. An instance is recorded of
a man having possessed this power. It is
bronght to the table boiled or stewed. It is
reported to have a stimulating aphrodisiacal
quality, which perhaps renders it more popular
than its flavour, which is trifling—dlbidum,
cibarium. See Sclerodérma.

Or. Lilidcee. A genus of very celebrated and
much-prized florist’s flowers. They succeed
well in rich loam and sand, and are increased
by offsets; new varieties are obtained from
seed. The choicer kinds require to be taken
up and dried after they have ceased flowering,
and planted again in the autumn. They
should be slightly protected in very rainy or
frosty weather, or they are very liable to rot.

Vaccinium, Linn. An ancient Latin name,
whether of a berry or a flower is not satisfac-
torily known. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Vac-
cintdceee, All the species of this genus are well
worth cultivating, some of them for the sake
of their fruit, some for curiosity, and others
for ornament. The different kinds of Whortle-
berry and Bilberry succeed best in peat soil, or
very sandy loam. Some of them grow best in
moist situations, and others in dry. Those

‘ requiring the heat of the stove must receive
the same treatment as the generality of stove
plants ; and are readily increased by cuttings,
planted in sand, under a glass, in heat; they
may, also, like the hardy species, be raised

_ from root-suckers, creeping roots, trailing root-

 

ing stems, or from seeds treated as follows :—
In autumn, as soon as the seeds are ripe, they
should be sown in shallow pans, filled with
very sandy peat soil, and covered slightly
over ; when about an inch high, they must be
pricked out thinly into other pans, filled with
the same kind of soil. After being well rooted
in these pans, they must be planted out in
spring in proper places, taking care to keep a
pall of earth about the roots. If finally planted
out in autumn, the worms are apt to throw
them out of the ground during winter. Syno-

Vaeriana, Necker, Said by some to be named
after Valerius, who first used it in medicine ;
others assert that it is derived from valere, to
be in health, on account of the medicinal
qualities of V. officinalis. Linn. 3, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Valeriandcee. Most of the species
are very ornamental in flower-borders. The
perfectly hardy kinds succeed well in common
garden soil; those from warmer climates
should be grown in pots in a mixture of loam,
sand, and peat, and placed in a frame or
greenhouse in. winter. They are all readily
increased by division at the root. The root of
V. officinalis is eminently anti-spasmodic. It
is very frequently prescribed with success in
hysterical cases. In habitual costiveness it is
an excellent medicine. The unpleasant flavour
of Valerian is best counteracted by a small
addition of mace. Synonymes: 1, V. hetero-

Linn, 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacee. The

' species of this genus, as well as those elegant
and interesting plants referred to it for culture,
&c., are all well deserving of the cultivator’s
best care and attention. The beauty of their
deliciously-fragrant flowers is quite sufficient

" to recommend them to all lovers of orchidace-
ous plants, besides their being in general such
‘admirably free flowerers. Some of the species
of Saccolabium and Sarednthus produce from
thirty to one hundred spikes of flowers each ;
indeed, we know from the best authority, that

aa G.H. .1774

«

 

there are single plants of Saccoladium gutta-
tum, growing upon trees in the Botanic Gar-
den, Calcutta, which produce every year from
fifty to one: hundred’ spikes of flowers. In
their native districts, all, or the greater part of
the plants referred to this genus, grow upon
trees in dense forests, and consequently derive
their chief support from the atmosphere ;
therefore their cultivation in this country is
rendered very simple and easy, as the: greater
part of them require nothing more than a
piece of wood to attach themselves to, or an
ornamental wire basket filled with moss and
broken pots, and suspended from the pillars or
roof of the house. There are, however, excep-
tions to this rule ; as, fur instance, some of the
stronger and more robust-growing kinds;. such
as Vanda Roxbirghii and V. multiflora, which
should be grown in wide shallow pots, care-
fully filled with cut sphagnwm moss, and pot-
sherds broken small. We would recommend
oak branches for those intended to be grown
upon wood. They all require a good strong
moist heat, and a plentiful supply of water
during the growing season, which ought to
commence about the beginning or middle of
June, and continue to the end of September,
from which time they should be kept cool and
dry until the beginning of March, when they
should be placed in a strong dry heat to induce
them to. flower. They will, if thus treated,
flower most abundantly ; whereas, if kept in a
continued moist atmosphere, they will do
nothing but grow from year to year, and of
course never produce flowers, because they are
not allowed. a: proper season to elaborate and
perfect their flower-buds, neither have they a
proper season for the development of those.
buds. Propagation is effected by carefully
detaching the lateral shoots after they ‘hare
grown to the length of about six inches, and
fastening them to another block of wood in a
similar manner to the old ones; but great
caution is necessary to preserve them from
excision by moisture till they have recovered
from the effects of being severed from the
parent plant, and commenced growing. Syno-

Veratrum, Linn. From vere, truly, and ater,

Linn, 23, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Melanthacee. A
genus of elegant plants when in flower. They
thrive best in a Aik soil, and are increased by
division or seeds. The dangerous medicinal
properties of the root of Veratrum are owing
to a peculiar alkaline principle, called Vera-
trin, which acts with singular energy on the
membrane of the nose, exciting violent sneez-
ings, though taken in very minute quantity.
‘When taken internally in very small doses, it
produces excessive irritation of the mucous
coat of the stomach and intestines, and a few
grains are found fatal to the lower animals.
V. viride is an acrid, emetic, and powerful
stimulant, followed by sedative effects. See

beautiful and ornamental plants when in
flower, either when grown in pots in the green-
house, or when planted out in the flower-gar-
den; and they will all succeed well in the
open ground during the summer months.
The flowers of V. tewcrioides have a delightful
jasmine-like odour. They all succeed well in
a light loamy soil, with careful drainage when
_ kept in pots. The herbaceous perennial kinds
increase rapidly by cuttings, planted in sand,
under a glass; the greenhouse kinds in a little
heat. The annuals and biennials should be
raised on a gentle hotbed. Synonymes: 1,

Vida, Linn, Latin name of the flowers. Linn.
5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Violacew. All the species
of this genus deserve to be cultivated, either
for the beauty or the scent of their flowers.
The hardy perennial kinds are well fitted for
ornamenting the front of flower-borders or
rock-work, but the smaller species succeed
best when grown in pots, in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand. The species, natives of Ame-
Tica, thrive best in vegetable mould or peat,
and are readily increased by parting the roots,
or by seeds. The greenhouse and stove species
should be grown in a mixture of loam and
peat; the herbaceous kinds of them are in-
creased by seed, or dividing the roots, and the
shrubby kinds by cuttings, which root readily
when planted under a glass. The annual spe-
cies may be sown in the open borders or on
rock-work. The Neapolitan violet, V. odorata
pallido-pléna, may be made to flower through-
out the winter and early spring, by placing it
in a stove or warm pit. JV. canina is said to
be a famous agent in removing cutaneous
diseases. Synonymes: 1, V. sororia; 2, V.

valued for the sake of its aromatic, stimulating

properties.

Zizypuus, Tournefort. Zizouf, in Arabic, is the
name of the Lotus. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or.
Rhamnacee. The species of Zizyphus are all
very pretty, and deserve to be grown in every
collection of plants. The stove and greenhouse
species thrive well in loam, peat, and sand, and
ripened cuttings root readily in sand, under a
glass. The hardy kinds are well fitted for
shrubberies, and are easily increased by ripened
cuttings, planted in soil, with a glass over
them, or by slips of the roots, The fruit of Z.
Jujaba and Lotus is very excellent, and is par-
taken of by all classes of people, in the coun-
tries to which these species are indigenous.

ZYGOPHYLLACE, or Buan carers. This order
consists of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants.
The ligneous species furnish exceedingly hard
wood, and in the Guaiacum is both bitter and
acrid.

ZyYGoruyYLium, Linn. From zygos, a yoke, and
phyllon, a leaf; the leaves are in pairs. Linn.
10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zygophyllacee. The spe-
cies of this genus are all very handsome when
in flower. The stove and greenhouse species
should be grown in a mixture of loam, peat,
and sand, and are readily increased by cuttings,
in sand, under a glass, or by seeds, when these
can be obtained. Z, Fabago grows well in any
light soil, in a dry situation ; it can only be
increased by seeds, which should be sown in a
pot, and placed in a frame, and when the
plants are large enough, they may be planted
out in the open border, in a warm, dry, shel-
tered situation. . See Guaiacum and Fabago.

SUPPLEMENT.

 

te The lapse of time consequent on the passage through the press of a work of this description and
extent, has necessarily caused the omission of many plants that have been discovered or described since its

commencement ; these are now inserted in alphabetical order.

The new Genera upon which no remarks are

supplied have either not come under the Editor’s observation, or are too little known for him to venture to

speak of them with confidence.
