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
DicnoNART, 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 f in this respect, the
arrangement of Dr. Lindley, in his Vegetable Kingdom, has been principaUy
followed, as being perhaps better known than any other in this country ; and
certainly appreciated, if not adopted, in every land where botany is culti-
vated and esteemed.

yiv 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 Q) shows that the
vowel over which it is placed should be sounded long, as Fdgua, Jambdaa ;
and the acute accent (') that the sound should be short, as Hdlcna, Jdtropha;
in some instances, however, the classical accentuation has been made to peld
to the popular pronunciation, of which an instance or two may be quoted.
Lycop<5dium {classical), Lycop6dium (popular) ; Chenop<5dium (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 Botanical
DiCTlONABY 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.

PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION.
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 ceitified 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 com-
panion, such as that now furnished, has ever been especially and forcibly urged.
There are, it is true, Catalogues, Encyclopeedias, 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
nsefulness is in proportion to the precision and accuracy of the manner in which
they are compiled.
Thb Pookbt Botanical Diotionaey, 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 frill 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 fiilly 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 Dictionabt,
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, ajs 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 LinnsBan 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 useftil 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 prevent
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
usuM 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 Omeral System of Gardening and Botany^ Dr. Lindley's Introduction to the
Natural System^ and Mr. Loudon's Arboretum et FruOceium Britannicum, comparing
these with all other catalogues extant,— of which Lotidon's Hortua 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, haying been engaged
PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. vii
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
imi^ne 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 suflBciently 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 Romanils would be accented RomAnus, and tric6l6r 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 Acacia, 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 descriptiye 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 sfi 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 ai-e 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 Botanical
Pocket Dictionary has claims which nothing at present existing or likely to be
issued can supplant or diminish.

Suborder Mimoxce. Very ornamental plants,
of neat growth and elegant foliage. All grow
well in sandy loam and peat, and cuttings
taken off at a joint, root freely in sand under
a glass ; portions of the strong roots planted
in soil, in heat, leaving the points out, pro-
duce young plants ; but the best plants are
obtained from seed. The hardy species re-
quire to be slightly protected m severe
weather. The bark of some species contains
the tanning principle in a great degree, parti-
cularly A. ardbica; the bark of which is
largely used in tanning leather, and is in
India regarded as a powerful tonic. Gums
are yielded in considerable quantities by some
species ; and in India an intoxicating principle
is obtained from other species. Synonyines :

Adans6nia, Linn. Dedicated to Michael Adan-

Or. 8, Nat Or. Stereulidcece. The lai>;est tree
in the world is the Adansonia or Baobab- tree,
the ti-unk 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
rrauced 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 diarrhoea, fevers,
and other maladies. The fruit is, 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
pestilential fevers."— -ff«)^•er, Bot. Mag. 2792.

injurious to the grains. Before the cuticle which
covers the fungus bursts, it has much the

AoARicAcEiB. A class of fungals resembling
the common mushroom {Agaricua campeslris),
AoAricus, Linn, Derived from Agaria, the
name of a town in Sarmatia. Linn. 24, Or. 9,
Nat. Or. AgaricdceoB. A more extensive genus
than this is not known in the whole vegetable
kingdom. Some species, as the common
mushroom. A, campistris, A. vagindttus, ftc.,
are well known for the wholesomeness of the
food which is prepared from them. Others,
as A. mu8cdriu8f A. necAtor, &c., are very
dangerous poisons ; indeed, the latter quali^
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
LohuUm's Eneyclopasdia 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 ndge ; 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 tne highest de|;rree 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 hana : 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 auantity of well-broken
droppings over the wnole; In this state let
it remain for two or three weeks, when a loam v
soil may be put on, about an inch or an incn
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 tlirow 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.

Amaryllidacece. To this highly interesting
genus belongs the A , americanay or American
aloe. This plant has been said to flower only
once in a hundred years, but it is now known
to flower sooner or later, according to the treat-
ment it receives. The readiest way to throw
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 SyTumymes: 1, A. spichta; 2,

pinnate, with footstalks from one to two feet
m length ; and numerous flowers in a termi-
nating pedicel, which exhale a disagreeable
odour. Tlie tree grows very fast, and on y^tj
poor soil, especiaUy 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 oy
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." — LovdoyCs Bncy,

AxTfNGiA, Noronha. Named in memory of
Alting, a worthy Gorraan botanist. Linn. 22,
Or. 13, Nat Or. Pindcetg. These handsome
growing trees attain a great ma^itude and
neight, especially A. excUsa^ which averages
one hundred feet ; they prefer deep loamy
soil ; and young plants may with care lie
struck from portions of the fully-ripened wood
taken off at the joints, and planted in a
pot of sand, under a glass, but not plunged or
exposed to the sun. Seeds, when such can be-
obtained, produce the best plants. Syno-

Amaryllis, Linn. The name of a nymph cele-
brated by the poet Virgil. Linn. 6, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Amarylliddcetx, This interesting and
beautiful genus of bulbous plants may be suc-
cessfully grown in the foUowmg 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 tiie hothouse,
giving them, as they progress, plenty of water.
A, reiiculdia and striatifdlia will not bear
turning out, but flower better by remaining
in their pota 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 snould comprise
equal portions of turfy loam and peat, with
^ a fair quantity of sand ; the pots should he
di-ained well. They are increacBed by offsets
from the bulbs. Synonymes: 1, Hippedstrum

Fabdeecd. This truly noble object first became
known to Dr. Wallich through the medium
of a Mr. Crawford, in August, 1886, 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 Jonisia
Asdca and Misua fSrrea; it was profusely
ornamented with pendulous racemes of large
vermilion-coloured blossoms, unequsdled m
the flora of the E. Indies, and perhaps not
surpassed in magnificence and elegance in any
part of the wond,"— Wallich* s PlantoB Asia-
ticcB Rariores, The ground, he states, was
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, wno very fortunately succeeded
in bringing a plant alive to the collection at
Chatswortn. It delights in a rich strong loam,
and maybe propagated by cuttings of the half-
ripened wood, planted in sand, under a glass,

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 fir^t 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, Bipley Queen, Lemon
Queen, Black Jamaica, New and Old Provi-
dence, Antigua, Montserrat, Cayenne, Boths-
childs, and a few others. The methods of
cultivation are various, but pot culture as
practised for so manv 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 oi 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-
fectlv heat the air of the house or pit. In fine
weatlier admit air the first thing in the momiug
(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

syringed oyer the tops, which will cause the
atmosphere to be very moist ; in this state the
plants will thrive surprisingly. Fruiting
phints must not be grown in an over-moist
atmosphere, but should have, when such can
be given, a freer circulation of air, or the
fruit will be of an inferior flavour. The tem-
perature in winter should be 70 or 75 degrees,
in summer 80 or 85 degrees, and when closed
in the afternoon 100 or 110 degrees. The best
plants are obtained from suckers, but new or
very inro sorts are also obtained from the
crown of the fruit. After the fruit is cut, the
stools should still continue in a good bottom-
heat, and strong suckers equal to year-old
plants may be soon taken off. Synonymes : 1,

tropics, sown in pots, and plunged in a strong
hotbed, will speedily furnish good plants. The

as large as on orange, but in general more like
a plum. A, Cherimblia produces a succulent
fruit of a dark purple colour, containing a soft
sweet mucilage, and is much esteemed by the
Peruvians. A. reticulata yields a yellowish,
sometimes reddish, fruit, of the consistence of
custard, and is much esteemed by some people.
A. paULstris bears a large, smooth, heart-
shaped, sweet-scented fruit, of an agreeable
taste, but is a strong narcotic ; the wood of
this plant is so remarKablo for its sod spongy

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 It
grows in sandy loam singly in pots, and is
multiplied 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.

ARfccA, Linn. When an old tree, it is called in
Malabar areeCf when quite young, Pcrynqa.
Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat Or.* Palmdcem. This
most beautifiil genus of palms succeeds best in
light sandy loam, and can be increased only
from seeds. The well-known Betel Nut is the
fruit of A. Catechu, and remarkable for its
narcotic or intoxicating power ; from the fruit
is prepared a kind of spurious CateckH. It
seems, however, doubtful whether the intoxi-
cating effect ol 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.

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.

1, Nat Or. AsterdcecD. Some species of this
genus are pretty, others merely ornamental,
while some are wholly uninteresting; their
silvery leaves have a showy effect m rock-
work, for which places they are well suited ;
they grow in almost any soil, and are increased
readily from divisions, cuttings, and seeds. A.
chininsisy and some other species, yield the
moxa of China, a substance used as a cautery,
by burning it upon parts affected with gout
and rheuiqatism. In India A. indica is con-
sidered a powerful deobstruent and antispas-
modic; and the leaves of other species are
esteemed a valuable stomachic medicine. Sy-

aware of, been introduced. The name is de-
rived from arthronf a joint, and phyllon, a
leaf; in reference to the jointed leaf-stalks.

ArtocarpAce^ An order separated from Ur-

^abound in milky juice, and in some cases is
rich and wholesome, as in the Qalacfodhidrati ;
in others, however, it is extremely poisonous,
as in the Upas poison {Antidris toxiearia).
ArtocJLrpus, Linn. From artos, bread, and
carpoSy fruit ; in allusion to the well-known
name and uses of the bread-fruit. Linn. 21,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Artocarpduxm. To this genus
belonss the bread-fniit tree of the South Sea
Islands. Thev are difficult to cultivate in this
country ; a light rich loamy soil is best adapted'
to them. Sweet says, * ' tney have been gene-
rally treated too tenderly, and not allowed
sufficient air. They appear to be of the same
nature as the flg, to wnich they are nearly al-
lied. Lai^ cuttings root freely in a ]>ot of
sand, plunged under a hand-^lass, 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 LovdorCs Encydcpcedia

on account of their medicinal qualities ; the

Or. AsclepiaddcecR. This is a genus of taU-
growinff herbaceous and shrubby plants, which
thrive oest 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. gyriaea 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, when they are covered
with dew, and collect the cotton from the pods
to fill their beds. On account of the silkinesa
of this cottoD, Parkinson calls it Vir^nian
silk. The roots of A. deeCmhena 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 a^^ainst pleurisy. A. tuberbsa is used
in the United States as a mild cathartic, and
as a remedy for a variety of disorders. Symh

greenhouse plant, seeds of which were sent to
the Horticultural Society by Mr. M'Culloch,

very handsome ; but if it is permitted to run
to leaf too much, its beauty is considerably im-
paired."—-Bo^. Beg. Synonyms : BarUria Ion-

AOTBulcEiB. A large order of plants bearing |
compound flowers, and generally known as
Compdsita:.
AsTBR, Linnceus. From aster, a star; the
flowers resemble little stars from the rays of
their circumference. Linn. 19, Or. 2, Nat.
Or. Asterdceae. Manv species of this extensive
genus are stately and handsome plants, such
as A. puniceuSf pulchillus, &c. : the expanded
flowers, which appear in autumn when others
are over, have been 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. ArgophpUtts 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. pUmUtts. 2, A.

AstrAgalus, Linnoeiis. From astragaios, ver-
tebra, or talus, the seeds being squeezed into
a squarish form in some of the spcies. It is
also a name given by the Greeks to one of
their leguminous plants. Linn. 17y Or. 4,
Nat. Or. Pubdceoi. This genus is extensive,
and the species are many of them very hand-
some, and well suited for the flower-garden ;
the herbaceous kinds merely reouire planting
in the open air ; the annual Icinds sowing
where they are to flower. A. lotc^des is the
handsomest, and should be sown in a mode-
rately-heating hotbed, and planted out in the
borders when sufficiently strong. Synanymes :

the fruit is a five-celled berry. A. Bilimbi
is a beautiful tree, with a green, fleshy, oblong
fruit, the thickness of the finger, filled with a

BABIANA, Ker. Derived by Mr. J. B. Ker,
from babiatier, because the roots are the
favourite food of baboons. Linn. 8, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Iriddcem. Handsome species, suc-
ceeding well in a mixture of sand, loam, and
peat, freely watered when the plants are grow-
ing ; but 'after flowering keep them dry till
October, when they require repotting. During
the suspension of water, keep them quite cool
till new roots are made in the pota, after which
a little more heat will cause them to flower
strong. Protected from frost they succeed
well in a south border, or the bulbs may be
planted in spring and taken up again in au-
tumn. Offsets or seeds. Synonymes : 1, 1'xia

BalsamIna, Rivinus. Called balassan by the
Arabs, from which most probably the name
balsamina has sprang. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Balaamindcece. That beautiful and popu-
lar annual the garden balsam, with its white,
red, pink, purjile, lilac, and finely-Tariegated
camation-liRe flowers, belongs to this genus.
All the species are ornamental, and may be
grown witn success by the following mode of
treatment, recommended in Don's MilWs Gard.
Die. : — **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
nave 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
theu 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 ligh^
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
abimdantly from seeds, which in general ripen.
The juice of the balsam used with alum is
employed by the Japanese to dye their nails
red. Synonyine : 1, ImpdUiens balsamina. See
McKodrdiea.

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. arundindteea is very useful for a
very great variety of domestic purposes ; in
the E. 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
callea tabasher, is a secreted siliceous matter,
found at the joints of the bamboo. See Melo-

BAnksia, Robert Brown. In honour of Sir
Joseph Banks, Bart. Pres. K. S. ; a distin-
guished patron of science in general, parti-
cularly ifatural History. Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. ProUhcecB. 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 hdf 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 Proteaceoe 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 iiroperly
managed ; let them be well ripenea before
they are taken off ; then cut them at a joint,
and plant them in pots of sand, without
shortening any of the leaves, except on ^the
part that is planted in the sand, w'here they
should be taken off auite 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 sooner they are potted off in
small ]^H>ts the better, as the sand is liable to
canker their roots, if left too long in it ; when
pott«d off they should be placed in a close
frame, but not on heat, as a bottom-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.*'

A very handsomis genus, sufficiently hardy to
bear our severest winters, if guarded from
cold cutting winds, and unusually sharp frosts,
by a mat. The flowers, which appear in pro-
fusion during summer, are succeeded by an
abundance of large, globular, reddish-yellow,
eatable fruit, of an insipid though not un-

dwarfer-growing kinds, but very pretty and in-
teresting. They thrive in any soil, and are
commonly increased by grafting or budding on
the larger and more plentiful kinds, the latter
being raised from seed ; the dwarfest species
are best when produced from layers. Syno-

shrubs, inhabitants of hot climates. The
leaves are opposite, pinnate, teruate, 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. rddicans 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:

remove the plants to a cooler house, where
they should be kept dry for three or four

woolly coat of the seeds of some of the species
is employed in different conn tries for stuffing
cushions, &c. The trunk of B. Ceiba is spiny,
and said to he 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 by the poor inhabitants for
stuffing chairs, pillows, &c., but is seldom or

This is a beautiful genus, worthy of extensive
cultivation. ^ B. triphplla is a free flowerer,
and thrives in a cool part of the greenhouse ;
B. vergicolar is rather more tender, and thrives
best in a warmer situation in summer, but re-
quires to be cool in winter. They grow in a
mixture of loam and peat, and young plants
may be obtained from cuttings, which strike
in the same kind of soil, in heat ; they may
also be propagated by pieces of the root, planted
in good soil, in heat Synonyme: 1, B. Jaogui-

BrAssica, Linn. From breaic, the Celtio same
of the cabbage. Linn. 16, Or. 2. Nat. Or.
BraaaicdcMB. 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 cabbace
{B. olerdeea) with its varieties, and observe the
exceeding great difference in appearance and
qualities, particularly when we compare the
original tjrpes as found on our shores, with
wavy sea green 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 aa briefly as possible ; the cabbage
and its varieties require a very strong rich sou,
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. Synonymea :

lately included. They are of easy culture pro-
viding they have a sufficiency of heat, ana are
potted in good rich open loumy soil, they must
be watered carefully, that is, giving a good
suppljr when growing, but in the winter a very
little is sufficient. The pots should be well
drained, and as the plants are, like the Pine

Br6simum, Swariz. Named from hro9imo3f good
to eat ; in allusion to the eatable fruit Linn,
23, Or. 2, Nat Or. Artocarpdcece. Alicdstrum
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 youn^ shoots are full of
gum, which renders them disagreeable to most
cattle at first ; but they soon grow ver^ fond of
them. B» spurium is also conimon m 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.

some of them are very elegant. A sandy peat
soil suits them best, with a moderate supply of
water ; young cuttings, planted in sand under

Or. AmaryllicUUxcB, Tliis is a beautifiil 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 autumn, and-
keeping them through the winter ; or the best
way to succeed weU with them is to have a
pit built on purpose, so as to be occasiondlv
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 tne greenhouse species of Amar$l-
lidacax will succeed best in this way." Bot.

require to be placed in a sheltered situation, or
against a warm wall, and covered with mats
during winter; cuttings root in sand, under

Orchiddceae. 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. B,
rigida is a very curious-growing species, pro-
ducing the small pseudo-bulbs at the ena of
the wiry-like rhizoma. When the plants make
their growth a little moss should oe fastened
to the oak branch for the young shoots to root
and fasten themselves to. Copious watering
overhead and likewise a strong neat 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.

the pots to be well drained, with small pot-

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 a^inst. It is desirable
to plunge them in a moist heat The flowers
of B. frondhsa and supSrba yield a beautiful

Linn. 21, Or. 9, Nat. Or. Ardc&B. The spe-
cies of this genus are interesting on account of
having singularly spotted stems, and pretty
neaty often green foliage. Several grow best
in water, ana the whole grow well if planted
in rich soil, and may be propagated from tu-
bers. C. seguXnum is a native of the W. Indies
and S. 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. — Ex. 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,A rum cuculUUum /

not open freely, neither will their colours be so

CalceoiJLria, Idnn. Named from ealceolus,
alluding to the form of the corolla. Linn. 2,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. ScrophularHJLceoe. 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
displajT ; 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 \a recommended to sow as
soon as ripe. The annual species rea uire to ,be
sown in heat, and when up, potted off, and
afterwards brought on for flowering in the
greenhouse. Synonymes: 1, tinctdria; 2,

Camellia, Ker. Named in honour of George
Joseph Eamel, orCamellus, a Moravian Jesuit,
and traveller in Asia. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat
Or. TemstfwmuicecB. " All the species of
Camellia are universally admired by every col-
lector of plants, on account of their beautiful
rose-like flowers, and elegjpt dark-green shin-
ing laurel-like leaves. Thev are very hardy
greenhouse plants and are of easy culture, re-
quiring onlv to be sheltered from severe frost.
The best soil for tiiem is an equal quantity of
good sandy loam and peat ^ut some of the
best Camellia growers have found that light
loam alone answers very well. The pots should
be well drained with pieces of potsnerds, 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 cuttings should be
taken off at a joint as soon as they are ripened,
and planted in sand, under a glass, where
they wUl soon strike root ; when Uiis is the
case they should be planted singly in small
pots, and 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 Febmaiy and
March. After this, put them into a peach-
house or vinery, or a warm greenhouse, and
give the plants plentv of water while they are
making their young snoots ; when the season'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 the sun. 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-
hoQse, which in rough, bleak, cold weather,
should be kept closed. The seeds of C olH-
fnu yield an excellent table oil. Synonyme :

well-known genus; some of the species are
tall-growing handsome plants, while others
scarcely rise more than a few inches from the
ground. They are all of easy culture in the
border of the flower garden or shrubbery, where
the hardy kinds merely require sowing ; the
less hardy kinds should be sown on a hotbed,
or in the greenhouse, and when up potted off.

autumn and winter. Unless the roots are
placed in the stove after they begin to grow
in the spring, they do not flower so well in
the greenhouse. A mixture of light loam and
peat is the best soil for them ; plants are pro-
cured from cuttings, which strike in soil, or
by dividing the roots.

suits the species best ; they are propagated by
divisions at the root, or by seeds, which they
produce in abundance. Synonyme: 1, C. chi-

Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. OrchiddcecB. Some
of the species of thb s]>lendid genus of plants
are most magnificent when in flower, as C.
crispa^ IdbidUa, and MSssias; 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. crUpa the sepals and petals are
pure white, the latter muuh curled, while the
lip or labellum is purple in the inside, and
wtiite out.side. The flowers of C. labidUa 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 0. Mdssiw very much resemble those
of lahidi%, 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 bo referred to the Stanhopeas.

Chrys&is, Lindley. After Chryseis, a celebrated
Homeric beauty ; alluding to the colour of the
flowers. Linn. 18, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Papave-
rdceoi. The species of this genus are very
handsome when in flower, and ou that ac-
count well deserve a place in every flower-gar-
den. They succeed well in any rich soil, and
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.

Orchiddcece. C. Thoudrsii 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
requi-site, 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-

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

C/STUB, Toumefort, From the Greek, kisios,
which is derived from JeisUf meaning a box
or ca|)sule ; on account of the remarkable
shape of the capsule. Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat
Or. CisiAcea. 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 ; mo.st 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 oi all the sorts
in pots, that they mav 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.

CiTRUB, Linn. This gemis is said to have its
name from the town Citron, in Judea. Linn,
18, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Aurantituxce. This is an
ornamental genus of fruit trees, mowing from
three to fifteen feet high ; they thrive best in
a good loamy soil, mixed with a quantity of
rotten dung. They do not like much pot-
room, nor too much water, when in a growing
state. The different kinds are procured by
budding or grafting on common stocks, which,
as soon as operated upon, should be placed in
some close frame, in a moderate dung heat.
Stocks for working upon are raised from any
oranges, lemons, &c. They are sometimes
rais^ from cuttings, in which case they pro-
duce fruit when very small plants. See Swe-
rinia.

Linn, 18, Or. 6, Nat. Or. RanuncuULcetB. A
nnmerous and hiehly ornamental genus uf, for
the most pcu't, climbing plants. The green-
house species are ver}' desirable where climbers
are wanted ; they grow well in any lieht soil,
or loam and peat ; cuttings root freely under
a glass. The same treatment is required for
the store kinds. The hardy kinds grow in
any common garden soil, and are well adapted
for trellis-woK, or for training a^inst a wall.
They are readily increased by laymg the young
shoots in July or October. The herbaceous
kinds are increased by dividing the plants at
the root early in spring. Syncmyrrus: 1, C.

CapparidAcecB. 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 sovm on a hotbed, and when of suffi-
cient size, planted out in sheltered situations
in the flower-borders. Synonymes: 1, C. ami-

Or. EricdceoB, All the species of this genus
are ornamental, growing from two to ten feet
high. The greenhouse kinds are well suited
for conservatories, succeeding best in peat
earth, or light sandy loam ; cutting taken
off, not too ripe, will root freely m sand,
under a glass. The hardy kinds, where the
soil will suit them, are well adapted for the
front of shrubberies, and reqnire the same
kind of soil as the greenhouse species. It is
usual to increase them by layers ; but cnttings
root readily in sand, under a glass. All the
kinds may be raised from seeds. Simonymes:

large elegant pea-flowers : they succeed best in
a mixture of loam, peat, and sand ; cuttings
will root under a glass, in heat, but the best
method of increasing them is by seed, which
sometimes ripens in this country. The an-

This is a splendid but a very rare genus of
plants, well worth cultivating for the brilliant
colour of the flowers, and their very curious
stnicture. They will be found to succeed well
potted in good fibrous peat, and the pots effi-
ciently drained with broken potsherds, which
should be carried up the centre of the peat
The plants should be raised above the pot ac-
cording to their size, in the same way as Slan-
hopeas.

Or. ], Nat. Or, Convolvuldceoe, Being mostly
showy plants, the tender species are well
adapted to stoves and conservatories : they
are be&t cultivated in loam and peat, and cut-
tings strike very freely in sand, under a glass ;
the half-hardy annual kinds should be sown
on a gentle hotbed, and when of sufficient size
planted out into ^e open border, the hardy
kinds only require sowing in the open ground ;
the stove and greenhouse annuals and bien-
nials require to be sown in the stove, and
treated as other stove and greenhouse annuals
and biennials. The roots of C. arvinsis and
maerocArpus abound in a milky juice, which is
highly purgative, and the roots of O, fl6ridu8
and seoparius are used as sternutatories. Syno-

species of this genus ought to be extensively

curiously-formed flowers. The most extra-
ordinary species of this genus is C. macrdntha,
of which tne following is an abridged descrip-
tion, extracted from the Botanical Register.
''The plant has the habit of a Stankopea, 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
ovary, and when expanded, measures some-

thing more than six inches from the tip of one
sepal to that of the opposite one. The sepals
and petals ara nearly ot the same colonr, 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, thinning awav very much to the edges,
of a broadly conical figure, with a diameter of
at least two inches at tbe orifice ; this second
cup is of an ochrey 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. Beg. voC
xxii. t. 1841. The genus requires the same
treatment as is recommended for StanTidpea.

rdeeof. This exceedingly beautiful genus com-
prises almost an indefinite number of varieties,
all more or less showy in the flower-garden in
the autumn, when most other flowers have
faded. They are all of easy cultivation, grow-
ing freely in almost any soil, particularly if of
a sandy open nature. They may be raised
plentifiillv from seeds, which should be sown
early in the spring. After the flowering sea-
son is over, and the frost has damaged the
leaves and branches, the roots should bo taken
up and placed in a secure dry nlace, excluded
from frost till spring, when tney should be
divided and propagated, and brought on by
dung heat, in frames, for planting out in the
flower-garden in May or June. Cuttings will
root with gre&t facility bv merely breaking or
cutting off the young shoots, and planting
them in small pots in a warm frame heat ;
but this practice, as seeds grow so readily, ex-

posed of plants possessing very deleterious
qualities. The seeds of D. ceraiocaiUon 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.
Stramonium is used in doses of from twenty to
thirty grains in cases of epilepsy, or of mania
without fever. Synonymes: 1, hUmilia; 2,

No orchidaceous plants contribute more to the
gaiety of the stove than the species of this
splendid genus. D. nbbile, chrysdntkum^ Oib-
8oni, fimbridtum, densijldrum, 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 orcludaceous
plants require (to cultivate them successfully),
a season of growth, a 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 profasely 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 hothouse.s, and by attending to
these simple rules, we should be enabled to
flower the species 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. ckrysdnthum, Pier&rdi, and some
others grow well when fastened singly on
pieces of wood, and treated as is recommended
under Burlingtbnia ; but they all succeed well
when potted in very turfy peat, raised above
the pot, in the same way as is I'ecommended
in potting StanTidpeas. A strong moist heat
is indispen.sable in tlie growing season, when
they may be frequently sfightly syringed over-
head. They will be found to succeed best in
a wanner part of the house than the Stanhbpcas
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 carefuUy 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-

a flower ; in reference to the fragrance of the
blossoms, and the unrivalled neatness of the
flowers. Linn. 13, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Cdryophyl-
lAaoB. A truly beautiful and ornamental
genus, containing some of the most prized
flowers we possess, on account of their beauty
and fragrance ; the foliage of the perennial
kinds is also as green and vivid in winter as it
is iu summer. The rarer species should bo
grown in pots, so that they can be protected in
winter. They all delight in light loamy soil,
mixed with a little rotten dimg. or decayed
leaves and sand. They maybe increased by
seeds, layers, cuttings, and division of the
i*oots. The cuttings should be planted out
under a glass, about the middle of June, and
if on a gentle hotbed, they will be ready for
planting in the open ground in about three
weeks. The annual and biennial kinds merely
reauirc sowing in the open border, where they
will grow and flower freely. Syiumymcs: 1, D,

Diap:£nsia. Named by Linnseus from diapenU,
composed of five ; alluding to the flowers being
five-cleft. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat Or. Diapen-
sidcece. A very pretty little alpine plant, but
rather difficult to cultivate, as too much mois-

winter, which protects it from the severe dry
frosts. It succeeds best grown in small pots,
in peat soil, with the protection of a frame in
winter, and is increased by seeds, or divisions.

DlOKicA, Linn. Dione, one of the names of
Venus. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat Or. Droaerdeeoe.
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-
adpulay a fly-trap. The petiole of the leaf i»
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 o|>ens and
permits it to escape. The plant thrives best
m 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. Seeds 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 bo taken ofl*, and placed on
damp moss, it will emit a }'oung plant from
' its edge.

Bart, M.P. It forms a graceful bush, from
two to three feet high, but will, no doubt, at-
tain a much larger size if trained against a
trellis, and sufficient room allowed S>v it to
spread ; the flowers are of a deep pink colour ;
only one flower is produced at the extremity
of each branch, but they open in succession for
a considerable time, and are succeeded by beau-
tiful little blood-coloured berries, scarcely so
large as the common sloe. A turfy loam, mixed
with sharp sand and leaf mould, suits it best ;
when the plant is growing, a moist atmosphere
is most suitable, but in winter it should be

are singular and beautiful plants, but require
a good deed of care in cultivation. D. locus-

and placed in a 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 neat 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 tne plants. They may be in-

mental, and as such, they deserve a place in
every garden. They succeed well in common
farden soil. Some of the tender perennial
inds 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.

I>IU56ERA. From droseroSj dewy ; the plants
are beset with glandular hairs, which make
them appear as if covered with dew. Linn. 5,
Or. 6, Nat. Or. Droacrdeece. This is a most
singular and beautiful genus of plants, whose
leaves are ornamented with red glandular
hairs, discharj^ing from their ends a drop of
viscid acrid juice. These liairs are so irritable
as to contract when touched, imprisoning in-
sects, after the manner of Dion^Ba MuMipula,
In tiieir native state, they are found growing
on mossy turfv bogs.' The best way to grow
them, is to plant them in small pots, about
three parts 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, iniemUdia.

Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat Or. ProteacecB. A splendid
genus of plants, nearly related to Bdnksia.
All the species thrive well in an eoual 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 ofl*, they
should be placed in a clase frame, and har-
dened to the air bv degrees. The cuttings will
do equally well if put in early in spring, just
as they are beginning to push out young wood.

Or. SUrcuXiduxa, This tree thrives well in a
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 Ya-
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 s^eeable than the durion. The
fruit is also used as a bait to entrap the civet-
cat ; hence the specific name.

one of great beauty. JS. gibhijlora 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 flowei*s. 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 cutting^ dried a few days
before being put in the soil. Synonymea: 1,

Kat. 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 nowers.
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 MammUlitriaSy 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 tne plant infested, and they will soon dis-
appear, and as soon return, if not carefully
watched. Synonymes: 1, Cireus abtibrmis ; 2,

genus of shrubs, growing from two to six feet
igh, in a mixture of loam and peat. Cuttings
will root in the same kind of soil, under a

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-

Epaaiddceoe. 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,
ana planted in sand, under a glass, in autumn,
winter, or spring, will root readily ; but they
will not strike so freely in summer. AVheu
rooted they should be potted singly in small
pots, and set in a close frame, and hardened to
the air by degrees. See Lysinima.

£pHEDRA, Linn. The Greek name for the herb
horsetail ; because of the rosemblance. Linn,
22, Or. 13, Nat. Or. Gnetd4xce. This is a
curious genus of plants, succeeding in any
common garden soil, and young plants are
obtained by layering the shoots or branches.
The berries ripen in July and August ; they
are sweetish, mucous, and leave a little heat
in the throat. They are eaten by the Kussian
peasants, and by the wandering hordes of all
l5reat Tartary.

EldcA, Linn, The Erica of Pliny, which is de-
rived from erioo or ertico^ 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. Ericdcece, This is a genus
comprisiug a great number of very beautiful
and interesting plants, but not so much culti-
vated as they ought to he, 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
thejr will not tlirive. The free-growing kinds
thrive best in good black peat, and like largish
jpots to grow in. The dwarf and hard-wooded
kinds must have a very sandy peat, and
smaller i>ots, 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 Capo 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 ; thev all require a eood
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 bo 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. Cutting of most species
strike readily, by taking off the very tender
tops of the snoots, 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 tho stove a litUe
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 jwtted off singly into small
Sots, and placed in a close frame, and har-
ened by degrees. The hardy sQrts rc(iuiro 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 la\'ers. Sy-

E. japdniea 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, m April. Plants may be obtained from
cuttings, seeds, or grafting. By cuttings— take
off the young ripe wood m June, each cutting
about two inches long, always cut off at a
joint ; plant them in a 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 nne-sifted leaf-mould, tmd tho
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 verv fine ; i>lunge the pots a^pdn.
in a hotbed till they require another x>otting,
after which, treat them as old plants. By
grafting — the best stock for grafting on is the
Whitemom, and for plants grown in the stove,
the end of October is the proper time, but if
growing out of doors, graftiDg may bo per-
lormed at the usual grating season. Syno-

Linn. 6, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Apiacece. Most of
the species of this extensive genus are ex-
tremely ornamental and beautiful, more e^e-
ciaDy the hardier kinds, which are, on that
account, particularly well a^lapted for the
flower-border. They thrive best in a light
sandy soil, though they will all grow in any
common garden soil. The ^enhouse 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 E. campiatre are slightly
aromatic.

ERYTHRiNA, Linn. From erytkroSf red ; in re-
ference to the colour of the flowers. Linn. 17.
Or. 4, Nat. Or. Fabaeem. These are all splen-
did plants, with fine large leair«, and beauti-
ful brilliant, scarlet, or red rtowers ; 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.
The whole should be well lncor)>orated 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
quite dry till the end of November, when they
may be potted into fresh soil, and pots of a
proper size. When potted, water, and set
them in a house where the heat is about sixty
degrees, and about March they will flower in
perfection. When the plants are again out of
flower, cut them down, ns before, to five or six
eyes, according to the strength of the stems ;
re-pot them, and place them in the stove until
they have taken root, and made shoots from
nine to twelve inches, when they must be re-
moved to a house of the temperature of from
fifty-five to sixty degrees, allowing them plenty
of light ; they must be frequently syringed, to
prevent the attacks of the red spider. Con-
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 jjive 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. E. Crifta-
gdlli, and B. lauH/olia, 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 lOur inches of the stem, and sheltered
by an inverted flower-pot. Synonymes : 1, E.

are not sufficiently strong to stand this ordeal,
are pronounced guilty, and those who are, are

Some species of this genus are very ornamen-
tal, as £. florib&ndwn^ while others, as E,
eoribceum^ 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. B, Ayapdna 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. E. per-
folidtum is tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal.

£oph6rbia. Linnaeus named this genus after
Euphorbus, a physician to Juba, King of Mau-
ritania. Linn, 11, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Euphor-
bidbcecB. 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
succeeded 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 annuals and biennials merely require
sowing in the open ground. The tender kinds
must oe 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 E. Ipecacudnha is said to be equal to the
true Ipecacudnha. E. antiqyJbru.m^ canarUnsi*,
and some other fleshy species, produce the
drug Eup^bium, which is the inspissated
milky juice of such plants. The native prac-
titioners of India prescribe internally the juice
of the leaves of nerei/olia as a purge and de-
obstruent. The Tamool doctors of India give
the leaves and seeds of E. thymifdlia in worm
cases. In India, the fresh acrid juice of E.
Tirucdlli is used as a vesicatory. The juice of
E. heptaghruif according to Virey, furnishes the
Ethiopians with a deadly poisou for their ar-
rows. Synonymca : 1, E. bupUurtAdes ; 2, Mt-

EupnoRBiAcE^, or Spurge-worts. A large
order of trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants,
often abounding in acrid milk. A very large
number are poisonous, the noxious principle
i^siding in the milky secretion. Many, how-
ever, are most important for their medicinal
properties, others contain so much starch as to
be useful for food, some furnish dyes, and the
wood of others, as the Box, &c., is so close-
grained that it is extensively used by engravers.
£uph5ria, JiLsaieu. From eupluarus, fertile;
alluding to the fruit. Idnn. 8, Or. 1, Nat.
Or. Sapinddeece. A genus of fruit-bearing
trees, attaining fro.m fifteen to twenty feet
high, and thriving in any rich mould ; they
may be increased either by layers or seea.

Ny^nphmdiua. This is a very handsome plant,
on account of its fine large leaves, which float
on the surface of the water, in which it requires

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 8i)ecics in heat. F. eldslica is
famed for producing a species of India rubber.
The glutinous juice of F. Indica is applied to
the teeth and gums to ease the toothacne ; the
Hindoos consider the bark a powerful tonic,
and use it in diabetes. F. raceinJbsa is slightly
astringent, and the juice of the root is also
a powerful tonic. F. indica is the celebrated

honour of John Fraser, an indefatigable col-
lector of North American plants. Linn. 4, Or.
1, Nat. Or. Oentiandcece. A veiy curious little
plant, found in the morasses of North America,
and successfully cultivated in peat soil, and

Fraxin^lla. See Dictdmnus FraxiniUa.
FrAxinus, Linn, From phraxis, a separation ;
the wood is used in making hedges. Linn, 23,
Or. 2, Nat. Or. Oledtcece. Moat of the species
are large-growing trees, well suited for planta-
tions. F. excUswr is one of the most useful of
our native timber trees ; its wood is much used
by coachmakers, wheeli^Tights, 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 pui^gative.

GARcfNiA, Linn. In honour of Laurent Garcin,
M. D. , F. K. S. , an oriental traveller. Linn. 1 1 ,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Clusidcece. This is a valuahle
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 0. Mangostdena bears a fruit
which, in the East Indies, ranks with that of
the pine-apple. It rises with a taper stem.
Bending out many bitinches, not unlike a fig-
tree, with oval leaves, seven or ei^^ht 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, diviaed 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 i)cople are allowed to eat
without scruple. It is given with safety in
almost every disorder; and we are told that
Dr. Solauder, in the last stage of a putrid fever
in Batavia, found himself insensibly recovering

The pulp nas a most happy mixture of the tart

sant All the other species bear excellent
fruit, but by no means equal to the Mangos-

These plants are well worthy of cultivation, on
account of their lai^go showy flowers, especially
G. Hookiri. A mixture of e(]^ual parts of sand,
loam, and peat suits the species well ; and cut-
tines root readily in the same kind of soil,

mental slirubs, very similar in appearance to
Vib(trnumj and perhaps may be considered the
greatest botanical curiosity in all Mr. Douglas*
collections. The species prefer a loamy soil,
and may be readily increased by layers,

These plants are all extremely interesting, and
remarkable for producing their leaves, more or
less 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. They all increase from
suckers, or leaves, which will produce young
plants from their base, as Furcrdba and Aloe.

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
in it. Some of the species should be grown in
pots, and placed among alpine plants, and pro-
tected in winter; some of them may bo 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. Aina-
rilla^ campistriSf crticiata, lUtca^ and purpurea
are tonic, stomachic, and febrifugal Syito-

and frame kinds thrive in loam and i>cat,
mixed with vegetable soil, and are easily in-
creased from cuttings or seeds. The hardy
kinds do well in the open border ; O. argin-
teum, however, requires to bo 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, O. Rohertianum is used in nephritic

GladIolus, lAnn, From gJadius, a sword ; al-
luding to the sword-shaped leaves. Linn, 8,
Or. 1, Nat Or. Iriddcecs. This is an exten-
sive genus, consisting chiefly of beautifully
flowering Cape bulbs. The species thrive best
in a mixture of very sandy loam and de-
cayed leaves, or peat soil, and require no
water after they have done flowering till
they begin to grow afresh. In the month of
October they should be taken out of their
pots and replanted in fresh soil, when they
should be set in a cool frame, or some such
place, as they require to be only protected
from frost till such time as their pots are full
of young roots ; then they may be set in a
warmer situation, and watered regularly, and
they will flower freely. The hardy species
thrive well in a light sandy soil, and are ra-
pidly increased, ts well as the tender kinds,
by ofiscts from the bulbs ; tliey require to be
planted in a warm south border. If intended
to remain in the ground all the winter, the
smaller bulbs must be planted six inches deep,
and the larger ones eight inches, so as to be
out of the reach of frost ; they should also be
covered with a little dry litter in severe frost,
or they may be taken up in autumn, and laid
to diy all the winter where the frost cannot
hurt them ; they must then be planted early
in spring, and they will generally flower well.

Linn. 6, Or. 1, Kat. Or. Lilidcece. This is a
truly handsome and curious genus of plants,
well worthy of cultiyation in every cdilst^Hou
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 beinff planted in rather more
than one-third turfy loam, full one-tliird 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. Synonj/me ; 1, simplex,

London, who lived in the time of Miller.
Linn, 16, Or. 2, Nat Or. TemstrdmideecB. This
is a genus of ele^nt plants, well deserving of
extensive cultivation on account of their large
and beautiful flowers. The plants are hardy
enough to stand our British winters in the
open air, yet the youug shoots often get in-
jured, owing to the shortuess of our summer
not suffering tliem to ripen the wood, or even
to flower in perfection ; ^ey 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. 6. McemcUdxylon re-
quires to be grown in the stove ; and cuttings
of the ripened wood will root in sand, under a
glass, in neat. Synonyme ; 1, LacathM fldrida.

GossfPiUM, Linn, From goz^ or ffothn, an Ara-

the Latin and li^glish name of the genus. The
name of the cotton-tree in Egypt is Ootnensei-
giar, Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Malvdcecs.
This is a highly valuable genus of plants, espe-
cially the species barbad^nse and herbaceuniy
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. Tlie annual aod 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

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 a border, and trained near the

"ELabevX^ia, Willdenow. From kabena,

chiddcenB. This is a genus of interesting
plants, well deserving of a place in every col-
lection. The hardy kinds will grow well in
the open border, with a slight protection for
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 BlHia, after the
C* ts have lost their le&ves, and the roots
me 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 :

Ivy is very often employed for covering naked

kills; it is increased by slips taken off, and
planted where they are to grow. The tender
kinds will grow in any soil, though they ap-
pear to grow better in a very light one. See

require the protection of a frame or greenhouse,
and on that account require to be grown in
pots; they* all thrive well in a mixture of
sandy loam and peat. The shrubby kinds
may be increased by cuttings, under a hand-

HeliAnthus, Linn. From Jielios, sun, and
anthos, a flower; on account of the brilliant
colour of the flowers, and from the erroneous
idea that the flowers always turned towards the
sun. Linn. 19, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Astcracecc.
The sun-flower is a highly ornamental and ex-
tensive genus of plants, and from their tall
growth they are particularly adapted to the
back of flower-borders or the front of shrub-
beries, in which situation they make a splendid
appearance in autumn ; they grow well in any
common garden soil, the tender kinds l>eing
protected in winter. They are all easily in-
creased by seed, which is ripened in abund-
ance ; the annual kinds should be raised on a
hotbed in spring, and when of sufiicient size,
transplanted into the open border, where they
will grow and flower beautifully. Synonyines :

Hj^nfreta, Lindley. Under the provisional
name of THpteraedjUhus scdndens, 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 fuU 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 DipteracdiUhus and StrobildntheSf to which
it has, in other respects, much apparent affi-
nity. The mode oi culture is as follows : —
After it has ceased to produce flowers in the
.<;pring, 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 brieht 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
universal favourites in the flower-garden. They
grow best in a light loam or peat soil, and in-
crease readily by dividing the roots in spring.

are more fragi-ant towards evening. Linn. 16,
Nat. Or. BrassicAceos. 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 mil not grow, parti-
cmarly II. mcUrondlis and its varieties ; the
best time for doing it is when they begin to
spring afresh from the root after flowering.

syriaeus thrives well in any common garden
soil, and is easily increased by layers, or
seeds, while its varieties may be grafted one
on the other, or. they may be raised from
cuttings planted under a hand-glass. The
hanly herbaceous kinds are particularly showy :
they are marsh plants, and require to be
grown in a rather moist soil, with protection
m winter. The hardy annuals merely require
to be sown in the open ground. The tender
biennials and annuals must be sown in pots,
and treated as other tender annuals and
biennials. The petals of H. rdsa sinensis are
astringent, and a few species, such as //. sab-

well 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
ffood 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. /. paraguSnsia
is used as tea, and yields the famous beverage
called Mat^ in Brazil. Synonymes: 1, lUx

rather elegant plants, the shrubby kinds of
which are well worthy of cultivation. The
stove and greenliouse shrubby kinds thrive
best in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, and
may be increased without difficulty by cuttings
of the yoimg 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 Diennials. The powdered leaf of /. Anil
is used in hepatitis. Indigo is produced from
various species of this genus, especially from
/. tinctbria. Synonymes: 1, /. tinctbriOy bra-

following is our mode of treatment :~ About
the end of July the seed should be sown very
thinly, in small pots, large sixties, well
crocked, and filled with peat and loam, both

sandy, and in equal parts, and placed in a cold
frame, where the seed will soon vegetate,
daring which time the least possible water Is
given. "When the plants begin to show signs
of leaves, they are tninned oat 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, thev are shifted
into forty-eight-sized pots, well drained, and
the same kind of soil as before ; in doing this,
great care roust be taken not to injure the
roots. Tn 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 sitiiation near the glass, they flower
splendidly in July and August, and continue
beautiful for a long time. Synomjmes: 1,

iRiDAcBiE or Irids. An order of herbaceous
plants of which the well-known Iris is the
type. Many have very showy flowers, and the
violet scented orris root is the produce of Iris
floreiUhia,
Irio. See Sispinbrium Irio.
Iris, Linn. From iris, the eye ; alluding to
the variety and beauty of the colours of the
flower. LinfL 3, Or. 1, Nat Or, IHMceas.
The genus Iris has long been, as it still con-
tinues to be, a great favourite in the flower-
garden. The sword-leaved sorts, as 1. ger-
mdnicttj &c., do best in a light loam, and
increase freely by suckers from the roots, or
by seeds. The tuberous-rooted ones are more
difiicult to cultivate, and thrive best in a
mixture of loam, peat, and sand, as does also
the tribe to which /. p6rsica belongs, as /.
alata^ cauc&sica^ reliculAta, &c. The common
bulbous species do well in common garden
soil, the more sandy the better. /. tubcrdsa
is purgative, and /. versicolor and vima are
used in the United States as cathartics. Sy-

fxTA, Linn. Ixia, bird-lime ; because of the

Or. 1, Nat. Or. Iridacece. 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 regulai'ly, and
they will flower well. The species of this
genus, and some other bulbous-rooted genera,
succeed best in a pit, covered with lights in
verv cold or wet 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
li^ht 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 Babidnci^

are of easy culture in a mixture of sand and

plants occasionally with salted water, has a
tendency to make them grow and flower more
freely. Cuttings will root in sand, under a

of propagation. '

The species of this genus are very elegant
when m blossom, and well adapted for orna-
menting rock-work. They all prefer to grow in
a peat soil, and require the protection of a
frame in severe weather, and may be increased
by divisions of the roots, cuttings, or seeds.

Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Jasmindceas. The
species of this very elegant genus are familiar
to everv 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-
markaoly well adapted for training over an

eminent Scotch horticulturist and botanist.
Linn. 2, Or. 1, Nat. Or. AcanthdoeoB, An ex-
tensive, highly interesting, and ornamental
genus of tuants, which mostly flower very
freely. Tne stove and greenhouse shrubby
and herbaceous kinds ^ow 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
/. Adhdtoda are said to possess antispasmodic
qualities. /. Ecbdlium is supposed to be diu-
retic. J. panicuUUa is the base of the French
bitter tincture called Droyxte Amire^ which is
highly valued for its stomachic and tonic pro-
perties. Synonymes: 1, /. qtuxdranguldris ;

flowers of which are produced in panicles ;
they are at first pale rose-coloured, and gnxdu-
ally deepen to a beautiful purple. The soil
best adapted to these plants is a mixture of
peat ana loam. All the species, except L.
indiea 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.

PinhceoB, All the species of this genus are
highly ornamental, and some of them are ex-
tensively cultivated for their timber, which is
adapted to a variety of useful purposes. The
larch ^ows 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. Youn^
plants are obtained from seed, which should

be %own in April, on finely-prepared soil
After the seeds are sown, a light roller should
be drawn 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 vej^etates earlier than most other
trees, and sufSrs more if removed after it has
begun to grow, it ought to be transplanted in
autumn, or early in spring. We have adopted
the names of the s]5ecies and varieties as given

LAtRUS, Pliny. From the Celtic word hlaur
(laur, the b is dropped), signifying green, in
allusion to the foliage of the plants. Linn. 9,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Laurhceoi. This is a very
handsome and interesting ^enus of plants.
The stove and greenhouse kinds do well in a
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 X. 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. L. Benzoin, L.
Sdwifras, and several others, are deciduous,
and in some situations attain a great size.
Thev may be increased by layers, or cuttings
of the roots. The bark of L. Benzoin is stim-
ulant and tonic, and in North America it is
used in intermittent fevers. In L. fdstens an
acrid red, or violet juice, is particularly abun-
dant. All the species are more or less aro-
matic and stomachic. Syjwnymcs: 1, Ecds-

tings root in sand, under a glass ; they may
also be raised from seeds, but plants from
cuttings are preferable, as they flower when
young, and tnose raised from seeds do not
flower till they become largo. Synonymes : 1,

Baron Benjamin Delessert, of Paris, a most
distinguished promoter of botany, and author
of the IconeSf published at Paris in 1823.
Linn. 10, Or. 10, Nat. Or. Fabdcece. The
shrubby and herbaceous kinds are elegant
little plants requiring the same treatment as
Sivainsonia. The annual species should be
sown in pots early in spring, and placed in the
greenhouse, and when about two inches high,
to be planted singly into small pots, and
shifted into larger ones as they grow.

14, Or. 2, Nat Or. Caprifoliaeeos. This ele-
gant little plant is not only a native of the
land which gave birth to Linnsus, but also of
Laplan<l, Norway, Russia, Germany, Switzer-
land, Savoy, Siberia, &c. In Scotiand, the
plant was first found in an old fir-wood at
Inglismaldie, on the borders of Meams-shire,
in 17d5, and since then in several similar
situations in the highlands of Scotland. In
North America, it has been found in a number
of distiicts, 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 bv separating the creeping stems when
rooted. The American plants are commonly
stronger than the European ones,

iiAace. These plants are mostly ornamental,
and well worth cultivating in every collection.
The greenhouse and frame kinds grow best in
a mixture of loam and peat, and cuttings root
freely under a glass. The hanly 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 bo protected by a frame in
frosty or verv wet weather ; they may be
increased by divisions of the roots, by cuttings,
or by seeds. The annual and biennial species
shoiUd be sown in the open ground in April.
The fibres of L. usitaiissimum is the flax of
commerce, from which linen cloth is made.

Liriod]6ndron, Jvssieu. From leirian, a lily,
and dendron, -a tree ; the flower produced by
this tree beara some resemblance to a lily, but
is more like a tulip. Linn. 13, Or. 6, Nat. Or.
Afagnoliacccc. The Tulip-tree grows to a con-
siderable height before it wul produce its
flowers, which are large . It is well snited 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. tuliplferaj it has been said to be
equal to Penivian 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.

Oentiandcew. A mixture of loam, sand, and
peat is the soil best suited for these ornamental
plants. Cuttings of the shrubby and herba-
ceous kinds strike freely In sand, under a
glass. L. Rnssellianus is the most splendid
of the genus ; it was discovered by the la-
mented bnimmond 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 nurple, with a very deep
eye in the centre. Tlie flower continues per-
fect for two or three weeks. By forcing it
early in t\Q spring, and planting out in the
open border, it will probably bo found to
flower as freely as Pld^ Drumm6ndii. It is
figured as an annual, but is very likely to
prove biennial. Synonymes: 1, X. Utraghnus,

all be invaluable in collections were it not for
the powerful stinging property of some of the
species, as L. Pldteei: on that account it is
necessary to be very careful in touching them.

Lin7u 5, Or. 1, Nat Or. Lobeli^cece. This is
an extremely interesting genus of plants, on
account of the beauty of the blossoms. The
greenhouse and stove shrubby and herbaceous
kinds grow well in a mixture of peat and
sand ; the shrubby kinds are readily increased
by cuttings in the same kind of soil, and the
herbaceous species by dividing, and by seeds.
The hardy herbaceous kinds do well in a light
rich earth, or peat soil ; but in winter most of

greenhouse annuals and biennials must be sown
in pots, and treated as other greenhouse
annuals and biennials. The seeds or the hardy
kinds have only to be sown in the open border.
L. longifiora is one of the most venomous of
plants. Barton says the Spanish Americans
call it RMnta Cav&llos^ because it proves
fatAl to horses that eat it, swelling them until
they burst. Taken internally, it acts as a
violent cathartic, the effects of which no
remed}" can assuage, and which ends iu death.

Caryophyllacea. An extremely beautifulgonus
of plauts, well meriting extensive cultivation
for the brilliancy of their flowers. Among the
most showy and esteemed of the border flowers,
is Z. Cfialceddnicaf the double varieties of
whicli require some care to prevent them fix)m
returning to a siugle state. L. f&lgcns and
gramlijldra are truly beautiful ; the latter will
grow and flower well if planted out in the open
border in spring, but it must bo taken up in
autumn, or the frost will kill it. They all
grow freely 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
iu spring. The seed of the annual species has
only to be sown in the open border in spring.

Linn. 13, Or. 6, Nat. Or. Moffnolidccos, This
is a genus of very elegant and showy plants
when in flower, and all well worthy of exten-
sive cultivation. The hardy kinds being re-
markably handsome shrubs, should be planted
in conspicuous situations, where they will
flower profusely when they attain a good size.
M. glauca and some others grow best ina 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. oboudUiy and
take readily. The greenhouse kinds thrive
best in a mixture of ]>eat and loam, and are
also increased by inarching or budding on M,
obovditaf one of the readiest growing kinds. M.
fuscAUif and any of the weak-growing species,
increase with facility from cuttings taken otf
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 waim
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 bo protected
from the frost by a frame for two or tnree suc-
cessive winters, giving them the benefit of the
open air in mild weather. Synonymes: 1, M.

Or. OrchidacccB. This very singular plant was
given to Mr. Bateman by Mr. William Hooper
of Lambeth, who received it from Rio in 1 836.
It is a remarkable genus, resembling Mcgadl-
nium in some respects, but belonging in reality
to Vdnd4;a!, among which it is marked by the
nearly total absence of the petals, the cirrhate
column, and the soft fleshy cinnamon-coloured
gland, to wliich a pair of reniform pollen
masses are slightly attached. In this division
of Orchidacc(e, it is uncertain where it must
stand ; probably other genera still undiscovered
will connect it with the system better than
can at present bo done.

Nat. Or. TemslramiAcecs, This fine onia-
meutal plant is highly deserving a place in
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

MALvAcBiE, or Mallow-wortb, 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.
MALVAvfJBCUfl, De Candolle, From malva, a
mallow, and viscwa, glne. Linn, 16, Or. 8,
Nat Or. dialffdcece. This is a genus of very
desirable plants, on account of their rich
scarlet flowers. The soil b^t 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,

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.

Buenos Ayres, to whom we are indebted for
the introduction of this and many interesting
plants. Linn, 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. ApocyndcecB.
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 of the same year. It
may bo propagated by cuttings or seeds, sown
in a pit, with a little heat.

MANOfFERA, Linn. Derived from mangoj the
name of the tree, and/ero, to bear. Linn. 23,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Anacardidcsee, 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 tropica, they
hardly eat any other fruit besides the Common
Mango (if. 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 ^teful &cidity. The Mango
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-
duce<l 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. Tan-
lin, it has borne most abundant crops of well-
formed and good-flavoured fruit. Synonyme :

Or. BrassicdcecB. This is a genus of old and
well-known inhabitants of the garden. In
order to obtain good double Stock-ffillijloivers,
Bratnpion 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 bv cut-
tings, which root readily by being planted
under a hand-glass, and shaded. To have a
succession of the Annual, or Ten-week-stockf
the seed should be sown in February, Mai-ch,
April, and May, and the plants from the May
Bowing will continue to flower till Christ-
mas. In preserving plants of the Stock-gtUi-
fUnoer, ama Ten- week-stock, for seed, select only
such single-flowering plants as have fine-
coloured flowers. The biennial and hardy
shrubby kinds should be treated in the same
manner as the Slock-giUifioioer, and all the
annual kinds in the same way as the Ttn-week-
slock. The greenhouse shrubby species grow
* best in a mixture of light soil and sand, and
cuttings root readily under a ^lass. Fine
double stocks may be planted in pots, and
kept in a frame during winter. See Guettarda.

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,

the branches white. Linn, 18, Or. 2, Nat
Or. MyrtHuMB, 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. Leuca-
diiidron and CaJupiUi 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-

MESEMBRTlNTHEtfiTM, Linn. From meseinhria,

Or. 2, Nat. Or. Mesembrydcea. This beautiful
and well-known genus of succulents is very
easily cultivated. If they are intended to re-
main in pots, a light sandy loam will suit them
best ; but if they are planted out in a dry hot
border, they will flower more profusely. Many
of the kinds are very beautiful objects for
the flower-garden ; for this purpose, cuttings
should be struck in the autumn, and allowed
to remain in the store-pots all winter. A dry
pit or frame, where frost is excluded, is sufli-
cient for their protection in winter. Cuttings
of the most succulent kinds should be allowed
to dry a little after planting before water is
given, after which they root readily. M. edule
IS the Hottentot-fig, the leaves of which are
eaten. M. nodiJUhnim is used in making Ma-
roquin leather. Synonymes: 1, M. stelldtum;

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^UA, Lin'n. In honour of Mesne, the father
and son, two celebrated Arabian physicians
and botanists ; they resided at Damascusi, and
flourished in the eighth and ninth centuries.
The works of the son were published at Venice
in 1681. Linn. 16, Or. 7, Nat Or. Clusihcea.
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
Eurposes in the East Indies, being considered
arder 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,

feet high, in a mixture of three parts sandy
peat and one part loam ; and cuttings root
readily in the same kind of soil, under a glass.

These plants are well worth a place in every
collection of greenhouse plants. They grow
best in loam, peat, and sand, well incorporated,
and young plants are readily obtained from
cuttings of the young wood planted in sand,

country, and a great lover of Orehiddcea.
Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat Or. Orchiddcea. The
flowers of these plants are strikingly hand-
some ; the sepals and petals of M. spectdbilis
are delicate cream-colour, and the labellum,
which is very large, is elegantly marked with
various shades of purple, deepest towards the
base. In if. Candida, the sepals 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-
erown, good-sized plant, two or three inches,
in the same way as recommended for Stan-
hopcas ; 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
bciJt 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 thi'ough a
month before dividing. They require a
hot part of the house. Synonymes: 1,

From mimoSf a mimic ; the

sensibility. Linn. 23, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Fabdcece.
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.
Thev grow well in loam and peat, with a little
sand ; and cuttings of the young wood will
root in sand, under a glass. They may also
be increased by seeds. See Acdcia, Darling-

MfMULUS, Linn. From mimo, an ape or actor ;
so named because of the ringent corollas of the
species. lAnn. 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Scrophu-
laridcea. Most of these plants are showv,
and worth cultivating, particularlv the haray
herbaceous kinds, whicn are well suited for
ornamenting flower-bordera ; they thrive in
any common garden soil, and are readily in-
creased by divisions of the roots, or bv seeds.
The greenhouse and frame species will grow
well in light rich soil, and may be increased
bv 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 M. guUatus are eatable as salad.

Linn, 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Convolvuldceae. A
very curious and beautiful plant, used for de-
coration by the Mexicans. When not in
flower it appears like an Ipomoea 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 Ijxyin^a.

Or. Nyclagin&cecB. Few plants make a more
handsome appearance when in flower, either in
the greonhou.se or open border. They grow
w^ell in any light rich soil, and are increased
by seeds. They may be planted out in the
open border iu 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 fi-ee 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 in a
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 be planted out before the end of May, as
the least frost kills them.

MtrsA, Linn, Altered from the Egyptian Mauz,
in honour of Antonius Musa. Linn. 6, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Mitsdcece. 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. Cavendlahii, 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 ^lant 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 :

beautiful, especially M. paliistris, the Forget-
me-not. They grow best in moist places, or
by the edges of ponds or ditches ; they may
also be grown in pots among alpine plants.
The annual species like a dry sandy soil. Most
of the perennial species may be increased by
divisions of the roots, and all by seeds. Syno-

Amongst the most remarkable slants 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 a bush about as large as
a CanUllia; 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 Pdssiflordceoe by some botanists,
and to CueurbitdcecB by others. The propaga-
tion of this plant may be effected by cuttings,
and in other respects its ti*eatment should
resemble that of GarcUnia, and other first-class

NepenthAcecB. The various species of iVd^ptfrt^^
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 bo 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 advanta^s 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 tlieir
stems and leaves. The i^lants should be
potted in a compost of a little coarse tibrous
peat, mixed with a greater portion of Hypnura
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
a constant but general humidity is given off,
which rises among them, and thus strengthens,
while it promotes their growth. Oflfeets 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, usin^ the same kind of compost,
and plunginff them in the moss, as before
directed, ana as the plants grow, and the
rootlets in the pot become nimierous, 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. Syruynymes: 1, Phylldn-
phora mirdbilis, P. canthat'i/era.

town in Tuscany, where the plants were lirst
found. Linn. 14, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Lamidcece.
Some of the plants belonging to this genus are
very pretty, and well adapted for flower-
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
or autumn, or by seeds. Synonymes: 1, ara-

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, 1686. 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 inliabitant of the
burning desert and the frozen zone ; in short,
its use either in powder, to chew, or to smoke,
is universal, ana 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
turee leaves, they should be planted into small
pots, and placed in the frame, and planted out
about tho end of May, those for the open
border in conspicuous situations, and those

Orehiddcece, Two species of this remarkable
genus have been figured in Lindley's splendid
work, entitled — Sirtum Orchiddceumj where
ho makes the following remarks; — "The
genus Oberhma consists principallv of small,
eshy-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 bo traced so plainly in the genus Ohe-
rihiia^ 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
doctiine of metempsychosis from these produc-
tions. In the genera Oberbnia and Drymbday
Pvthagoras would have found a living evidence
of animals transmuted into plants." Sy/io-

OnaorAce^ Onaorads, or evening prim-
roses, are an assemblaffB of shrubs, herbaceoas
plants, and annuals, of which the weU-known
evening primrose {(Enothh'a) and fuchsia are
examples of their general character.
ONcfDiUM, Swartz. Derived from ogkos, a tu-
mour; the plants belonging to this genus
have warts, tumours, or other excrescences at
the base of the labellum. Linn, 20, Or. 1,
Kat. Or. Orchiddcea. This is an extensive
• and very handsome genus of plants, every one
of which is highly deserving a place in every
collection. 0. papilio bears a striking resem-
blance to a butteriy on the wing. 0. altlsn-
mum throws u^ from fifteen to twenty flower-
spikes, producmg as many as ttoo thousaiid
flowers, the colour of which is yellow, spotted
with brown, and there is the splendid 0. Ian-
cednum, one of the most nrizea 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 bo boi-ed, and a piece
of strong wire nin through near the end of
each, and fastened at the ^ttom. 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 w^ill be liable to
damp off. The small-growing kinds, as 0.
iridi/dliuTn, should be fastened on wood, and
treated as the Burlingt&ndas. The other
kinds, as 0. papilio and 0. altissimum, require
to be potted similarly to the genus Stanhdpea.

All the species of Saintfoin are very showy,
and well suited for ornamenting rock-work or
flower-borders. The herbaceous kinds grow
best in pots, in a mixture of chalk, sand, and
loam ; they succeed best when raised from
seed, which should bo sown where the plants
are to remain. Synonymes: 1, ffedpearum

Ophrts, Linn. Ophrys is the Greek appella-

The species of this genus are highly curious,
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 weatner.
It is advisable to have some turfy grass grow-
ing where they are planted, as ihej 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 sti^a. 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, 0. bichmis, 0.

very pretty blossoms, which are produced in
great abundance. The stove, greenhouse, and
mime 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-

Cr&nberries are a well-known genus of plants.
0. palHistris grows in most turfy bogs in
the mountainous parts of Britain, the berries
being very much sought after. When the plants
are grown for the sake of the fruit, they
should be planted on an artificial bog, but
when grown only for having specimens, thev
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.

Yery handsome plants, well fitted for shrub-

gular, appearing something like a head with a
broad-brimmed hat on. This is the shrub of
which, it is by many persons supposed, the
crown of thorns which was put on our Saviour's
head was made; and this assertion is borne
out by maav travellers of credit, who say that
it is one of the most common shrubs m the
country of JudiBa, and from the pliability of
its branches, which may be brougnt into any
figure, it may aflbrd a probabilihr. They will
grow in any common soil, and may be in-

leaves and large terminal bunches of flowers,
succeeded by a fruit of plumb-like appearance,
which is oaten in Sierra Leone under the name
of Rough Plumb. The plants grow freely in
three imrts sandy loam and one part peat ;
ripened cuttings in pots of sand, unaer a glass,
in heat, root readily. Synonymc: 1, Ptero-

16, Or. 2, Nat. Or. PassiJlorAcece. 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 of room, producing abun-
dance of beautiftd flowers ; many of the kinds
produce fruit freely, from which, through im-
pregnation, several fine hybrids have been
i-aised. The fruits of some, as P. ediilis, lauri-
fblia, and P. qiuidranguldris, or GranadUlaj
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. A
edUtlis and P. laurifhliaviiW fruit freely in the
plant stove. P. quadranguldris 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 comer of u 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 arc easily increased by cuttings planted in
sand. The hardy kinds should bo planted iu

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 tlian this

Perist^iria, Hooker. From perisUra, a dove ;
in allusion to the dove-like appearance of the
column. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidd-
ceos. This is a genus of splendid plants, the
most remarkable and interesting of which is
the P. eldta ; it produces a long spike of
yellowish- white waxy flowers, yielding a very
peculiar fragrance. In the neighbourhood of
Panama, it is known to the natives by the
appellation of ** e/ Spiriio Santo/* and the
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 poll en- masses, together
with the erect wings, bears a very stiiking
resemblance to the fip;ure 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 8ea.son, more especially when
torpid ; they are increased by separating the
pseudo-bulbs. See Acinela. Synmiymes: 1,

Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. (hchidcuxce. This
is an interesting and valuable genus of plants,
especially P. dlbus, ^Thich 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, iu
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 youug shoots are about half an inch
in length, the pknts 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 bo discontinued. When it has ceased
llowering, it should bo 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-
}>lying as much water as will keep the plant
alive, and taking care never to wet the stems.

lAnn. 22, Or. 8, Nat Or. PalmAcece. The
Pate of the ancients is included in this noble
genus of palms. P. daetylifera is a fine lofty-
growing tree, with a rugged trunk, and leaves
from six to eight feet Jong. The inhabitants
of Arabia, Upper Egypt, Ac., chiefly live upon
the fruit of it ; the hard stones are even ground
up as food for their camels, and of the leaves
they make bags and baskets. In Barbary, the
jnidribs are used 9» toces for their gardensy
and they sometimes make use of the tnmks in
small buildings. The threads of the intega-
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 soooping holes at the top, which is after-
wards made into an agreeable wine. P. farU
.nf/era contains a farinaceous substance in the
heart of the stem, which is said to be as nu-
tritive as sago. The species all delight in a
strong rich soil, and the only way of obtaining
young plants is by seeds. Synonyme : 1, 6laU

P^NUS, Linn. From pinos, a Greek word used

PinacecB. 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
notice. In some of the species the cones attain
their full size the first /ear, but, in most, not
till the end of the second autumn. The cones
of P. sylvistrU and tlie like, open of them-
selves shortly after being gathered from the
tree, and spread out in the mm ; but the cones
of P. PindsleTf P, Pinea^ and simikr 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 bein^ gently beaten down, are slightly
covered with light soil. The seeds of the rare
kinds are sown in pots tilled with finely-pre-
pared soil, and when up, treated like other
nardy 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 FnUicetum Brilan-
nteum, a work which ought to be in the hands
of every lover of hardy trees and shrubs.
Under Pinua, 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 mis 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 o£ AbieJt
and Pleea of authors, every species of those
genera being retained alphabetically under the
respective Sections.

well-known pepper of the shops is principally
produced by P. nigrum. P. BUle furnishes the
^tie-leaf of the Southern Asiatics, in which
they inclose a few slices of the Areca-mit, 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 Peperomia.

This is a truly splendid and very desirable
genus, growing well in ^ood open, rather sandy
loam, 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, tne 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 iu sand, or sand and

Polygaldceai. All the species of this genus
are very showy. The greenhouse kinds tnrive
well in one part turfy loam, 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
pu8h out numerous young ones ; these should
be taken off close when in a growing state,
about three inches long, planted in pots of
sand 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 auniud
kinds require sowing in the open ground, pre-
ferring a peat soil. The root of P. Sinrga 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:

PoLifaoNUM, Linn. Derivation same as that of
Polygondfum. Linn. 8, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Poly-
gonacece. The species of this genus grow freely
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. HydrOpipeVy
arc extremely acrid, and said to blister the
skin. The seeds of P. Fagopprum and UUd-
ricvm are u.sed as food, and according to Hum-
boldt, the leaves of P. hispidum are used in
South America as a substitute for tobacco.

are well adapted for ornamenting rock -work,
or they may oe grown in pots, in light loamy
soil. All the species may oe readily increased
by dividing the roots, or by spores. P. crassi-

P6pulus, Toumefort. Some derive the word
Populus from paipallo, 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 drbor pd-
puli, or the tree of the people. Linn. 22, Or.
7, Nat. Or. Salicdceai. 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-

PROSTHkMiUM, Kunze. Derived from prosihcma,
an addition. Linn. 24, Or. fi, Nat. Or. Uredi-
ndcece. A very minute black fungus, found in
autumn on the trunks of trees — btiattnum.
Pr6t£A, Linn. From Proteus, a self-transform-
ing sea-god ; in allusion to the diversity of
appearance of the species. Linn. 4, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. ProtedcecB. 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 tine 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. Care 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^
regidar and moderate. Bipened cuttings will
root when taken off at a joint, planted thinly
in sand, and placed under a glass, but not in
heat ; the glass should occasionally lie 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. longif^lia ; 2,

To this genus belong the Pear and Apple, as
well as tlie Service-tree, and many others,
either prized for their fruit or their orna-
mental appearance. In our shrubberies, they
grow in any common soil ; but for the moro
highly cultivated ones a deep loam is neccs-
saiy. They are increased by seeds, and the
establi.shed kinds are multiplied by grafting
the choicer on the common kinds. Syjio-

Nat. Or. ConvolvuUetcR. This genus, for the
most part, consists of very beautiful half-
hardy annuals. They require to be reared on
a hotbed, and about the end of May they may
be planted out in a warm sheltered situation in
the open border ; some of them may be kept
in the greenhouse, where they will flower and
ripen their seeds freely. The perennial kinds
are well adapted for covering pillars in the
stove or greenhou.se. Any light rich soil suits
them, and cuttings of the young wood root
readily in saild, under a glass, in heat. Syno-

-QujfiRCUS, Linn. From the Celtic qiur^ fine,
and cueZf a tree, fine tree ; others derive it
i'rom the Greek word choiros^ a pig ; because
those animals feed on the acorns. Linn. 21,
Or. 9, Nat. Or. Corylacf.oR. 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
«vood of the oak is not applicable. Q. SiiJter
is veiy 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 whtu 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 dned, 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 acorus 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 pattca down with
the back of a spade, or the oack 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-

Orchiddcew. R. cocclnea is a truly splendid
plant. The flowers are produced on a lateral
loose panicle ; the sepals 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 di-ainage ; 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 quautity
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 degi'ees,
and kept perfectly free from moisture, except
what arises from watering and occasional
syringing. The whole of the plant should bo
as near the glass and as much exposed to the
sun as possible ; aud to prevent the leaves
from shrivelling too much, it may be occasion-
ally syringed in the afternoon. After being iu
this house two or throe months, the flower-
spikes will make their appearance ; when tho
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,

a familiar example of their habits.
BEskDA, Linn. From resedo, to calm or ap-
pease ; the Latins considered its application
useful in external bruises. Linn. 11, Or. 3,
Nat. Or. Rescdacece. 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 m old
tan or ashes, and covered by a frame, which
should front the west. Those to 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 Kovember
sowing. The third, or spring crop to succeed
the last, may be sown about the middle of
Februar}- ; 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
suffmticose species may bo increased by cut-
tings or seeds.

found in nearly all parts of tne world ; several
species of Zizyphus bear eatable fruit, known
by the names of Lotus and Jujubes.
Bhamnus, Linn. From the Celtic ram^ signi-

kinds are easily grown in any light soil ; and
increasd readily by cuttings under a glass.
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 B. cathdrticus 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 dyeing
Turkey or Morocco leather yellow. The wood
of B. dahikricus is red, and is known to the
Russians by the name of sandal-wood. Syiw-

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 teniperature nearly equal to
that of the house. They will require several
shifts previous to flowering ; at the two last,
viz., tnose 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 eflected in March, the
plants will be r«5v 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,

Rhododendron, 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. Eriedcece. The Rhododendron
is 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 shrubberj-, 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 bo effected by layers or seeds ; if
the latter mode be preferred, the seeds must
be 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
a close 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,
should be removed into other pots or pans,
using the same kind of mou1<L After this
removal they should be kept in a close frame
till fresh roots are produced, and they may
then, by degrees, be nardened to the air. The
small-wooded kinds may be also increased very
freely by voung 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. Synonymea: 1, R. aro-

greenhouse species will grow well in any com-
mon soil ; and may be readily increased by
ripened cuttings planted in sand, under a
glass ; the stove species must be placed in

R6ba, Linn, From the Celtic rhod, red ; in
reference to the prevailing colour of the
flowers. Linn. 12, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Roadceoe,
The name of this genus carries with it a charm
as well for the Mauty 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 o^cct 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 aimually from seed, and many of the
varieties bein^ 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 Boses
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 appUed 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. Rhsa canina, or com-
mon dog-rose, is the best for budding upon ; it
is asserted by some cultivators, that ail 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 Christma.s, 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. canlna is astrin-
gent, and employed in medicine in cases of
chronic diarrhoea and other maladies. The
various preparations from the flowers are rose-
water, vinegar of roses, attar, or essence of
roses, &c Synonymes : 1, R, hpbrida ; 2, R.

The Maiden-hair Tree is well worth growing, if
onlv ou account of its singular foliage. The
male and female flowers being produced on
two dilfiprent trees, the readiest way of obtain-
ing fruit would be to giuft or bud both sorts
on the same tree, or by growing both trees
near each other. Common garden soil suits
it, and it is readily increased by layers. The
fruit has never been perfected in this country,
but in China the tree is extensively cultivated
for the purpose of procuring it

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 tho manufacture of basket-rods.
The best sorts for cultivating for hoops are
S, caprea and S. viminalis. The brancnes of
some of the species are used as stakes, poles,
handles to rakea, hoes, and a great variety of
economical purposes. In the north of Europe
the bark of S, dlba is used fur tanning leather,
and for dyeing yam of a cinnamon colour, and
the leaves ana younff shoots are given to cattle
iu a green state, or dried like the twigs of the
birch, and laid up for winter fodder. The
leaves of S, herb^uxa, soaked in water, are cm-

Si-LVIA, Linn. From salvo, to save ; in allusion
to the healing qualities of the sage. Linn. 2,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Lamidceas. This is a very
extensive genus, consisting chiefly of ex-
tremely showy flowering plants, weirworthy 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 reouire to
be sown in the open ground where tney are
intended to bloom. The common sage, Sdlvia
offidndlis, is a well known culinary herb. Syno-

Saponacjbous, soapy.
SaponAria, Linn. From sapo^ soap ; the
bruised leaves are said to produce a lather,
like soap, when agitated in the water. Linn.
10, Or. 2, Nat Or. Caryophyllacece. This
genus contains some truly beautiful plants,
well deserving of a place in every garden. S.
ocymoideSf from its trailing habit, and hand-
some flowera, is well adapted for rock-work.
A mixture of sandy loam and peat suits them
best, and they are readily increased by divi-
sion at the roots or by seed ; young cuttings
of the branching species will also root readily
if planted under a glass. The leaves of &
officindtZis form a lather, which much resembles
that of soap, and is similarly efficacious in
removing grease spots.

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.

Or. 1, Nat Or. Orchiddeece. S. margindta,
and another species recently introduced, were
originally discovered by the gentleman to
whom the genus is dedicated. 8. margindta
is at present supposed to be rather difficult of
culture. It will not grow so as to flower if
kept in a pot, but thrives perfectly well when
attached to a piece of wood, with a little moss
on its roots. It must be kept in a hot, moist
part of the house. " In its native state, its
nower-stalk is frequently four feet high,
branching, and covered with flowers. Duriiig
the dr^ season, it will bear intense heat with-
out iiyury." Synonyme: 1, JSpidindrum tibia-

SEMPERvhruM, Linn. From semper vivo, to
live for ever ; the tenacity of life of the House-
leek is well known. Ztim. 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 sparingly
watered. Cuttings taken off, and laid to dry
for two or three days, will root very freely.
The readiest way of obtaining cuttings from
S. tabulce/orTne 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. teetdrum, applied either by itself or
mixed with cream, gives immediate relief in
bums, and other external inflammations.

SiLkNE, Linn. From sialon, saliva ; in allusion
to the viscid moisture on the stalks of many of
the species, by which the smaller kinds of flies
are entrapped ; hence, also, the £nglish name
of the genus, Catchfly. Linn. 10, Or. 8, Nat
Or. CaryophylldceoB. Elegant flowering plants,
succeeding best in a light, rich soil. The
shrubby kinds are readily increased by young
cuttings, planted in sand or soil, under a glass.
The hardy herbaceous kinds may be planted in
the open border; the dwarfer species thrive
well on rock- work, but duplicates should be
kept in small pots, as alpines, that they may
be sheltered by a frame in winter. The seeds
of the hardy annual and biennid kinds onlv
have to be sown, about the beginning of April,
where they are intended to remain. They may
all be easily multiplied by seeds, and some of
the herbaceous sorts by dividing the plants at
the root in spring. Synonymes: 1, S. concAdea;

SolXndra, Linn. 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 duriue that expedition. They are pre-
served in the Britisn Museum, and exhibit
great learning and deep research. Linn, 5,
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Solandeea. This is a splendid
genus of plants ; the foliage being very fine,
and the flowers large, like those of the Brug-
ffidnna. The best way to induce them to
flower is to grow them in two parts turfy loam
and one of ]>eat, liberally applying heat and
water till they have perfected a go^ 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.

SoLANTTH, Linn. The derivation of this word is
quite uncertain ; some derive it from Sol, the
sun ; others say it is StUanumy from sus, being
serviceable in disorders of swine ; and others
assert that it is from solor ^io comfort, referring
to its soothing, narcotic efl*6cts. Linn, 5, Or.
1, Nat. Or. SolanAcece. All the more showy
species of this extensive genus thrive best in a
light rich soil, and are i-eadily 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-
rdsum 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
potatoes. S. nigrum and some others are
highly virulent poisons. S. DuUamdra 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, Dulcamdtra^ 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, NycUrium ameud-

quire a slight protection in winter. They are
sometimes increased by layers, but generally
by seeds. The stove and greenhouse kinds
thrive well in a light loamy soil ; and cuttings
will root, if planted in sand, under a glass.
The hardy herbaceous kinds are increased by
dividing the roots in spring. Synonyme: 1,

Stanh5pba, Hooker. In compliment to Earl
Stenhope, president of the ^ledico-botanical
Society. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. OnAt-
ddiceoe. The species of Slanhdpea are splendid
plants when in flower, particularly S. Devoni-
insis 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 bo 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 one third of the top. A suffi-
cient quantity of fibrous, 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 psendo-bulbs.
After the peat becomes level with the summit
of the pot, the successive external layers are
mada fast by means of small pegs, varying
from four to six inches long : these pegs pene-
trate thtf layers of peat, and thus secure the
whole firmly together. At eight inches above
the edge of the pot the j)lant 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 neat as before described, until
the whole is finislied ; 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 firat potted, it should be but
very slightly raised above the level, and when
a small iilant of two or three bulbs is potted,
it shoula not, at first, be raised more than two
or three inches, but as it grows larger it is pro-
gi-essively 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 tho
top. Unless the plants arc 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-
dacea being to preserve the roots, which, by
over-watering, especially in winter, are almost
sure to be destroyed. The general temperatare
STA
535
STA
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
voung buds. After they have formed roots,
increase the size of the pots, and in other re-
spects attend to them as before recommended.

SrAPisLiA. Named by Linnaeus after Boderus

Nat. Or. Asclepiaddcece. An extensive genus
of plants, well worth cultivating for their
fi-otesque appearance, and their singularly
eautiml 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 all 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 bo planted
in separate pots, in the same compost as before
recommended, when they will strike root in a
very short time. Synonymes: 1, & deflixa; 2,

Plumhagindicece. The species of Stdtice, or
'Sea Lavender, ought to be in every garden, on
account of their lively little flowers. The
greenhouse and fi*amo kinds succeed best in
sandy loam and peat, and may be increased by
cuttings. The hardy herbaceous species are
very suitable for ornamenting the front of
flower-borders ; they increase freely by division,
or seeds, which latter some of them produce in
abundance. The root of S. carolinidna is one
of the most powerful astringents known. Sy-

Valuable plants, on account of the medicinal
properties ascribed to them. They all succeed
well in a mixture of loam and sandy peat, and
half-ripened cuttings will root in sand, under
a glass, in heat. & coluhrlna is given as an
anthelmintic in intermitting fevers. The seeds
of -S'. N&x-vOmica are well known by the latter
name, as possessing a dangerous narcotic pro-
perty, which depends upon the presence of a
peculiar principle called Strychnia, It has
been admmistered in a great number of cases
with diflferent degrees of success : small quan-
tities have been given for mania, gout, epilepsy,
hysteria, and dysentery. It is a most violent
poison, and its energy so great, that half a
grain blown^ into the throat of a rabbit, occa-
sions death in five minutes. Its operation is
always accompanied with symptoms of locked
jaw and other tetanic affections. The seeds of
S. potcUdruni are sold in the Indian bazaars for
the purpose of clearing muddy water; the
vessels containing the water being rubbed for
a minute or two round the inside with one of
the seeds; after which, by allowing the water
to settle for a sliort time, however impure and
muddy it may have been before, it become
clear and wholesome.

freely in a mixture of peat, sand, and loam ;
a small portion of the last will suffice ; cuttinga
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 countnr, on account of tneir bein^ liable
to damp on ; and in order to prevent this, they
should be very sparingly watered in damp

TANOHfNiA, Iht Petit Thouars. From Tangkin,

Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat Or. Apocyndcea. These
remarkable plants may be referred to Tabema-
m6nta7ia for culture and propagation. T. vene-
nijlua is the celebrated orueal tree of Mada-
gascar. The fruit is yellow ; and incloses a
hbrous 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 wliich the accused jperson is made
to drink ; others say the infusion is made
of the entire fniit. 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 Unds 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,
1880, in compliance with the sovereign's man-
date, a notable administration of Tanghin took
place. The accused persons amounted to abotit
thirtv, including some of the highest rank in
the kingdom. All the nobility recovered,
while the unknown plebeians, who, accordiuff
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 publio. 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, Cirbera

Tel6pea, 12. Brown, From Telopas, seen at a
distance ; alluding to the great distance from
which its crimson-coloured blossoms are dis-

Nat. Or. ProteAceoe. This magnificent plant is
considered to be rather difficult of culture. A
light soil, composed of eaual parts of sandy
loam and heath mould, witn 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
fla^, nor yet to over-water it. Thougn 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 alwavs 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,
bv layers ; as the plants natimdly 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 WarrcUcA succeeds well in an
airy part of the greenhouse, but in winter, it
subsists better in a cool, airy part of the stove,

THE
two sunpoaed species, T. Bolua and T. viridia,
are notning more than varieties of one species,
for which Linnens' name T. chinenais is adopt-
ed, and ofwhich the Assam tea plant, sometimes
called Thea eusamica, is merely a third variety,
or perhaps, indeed, the wild type. The black
ana green teas are, however, mainlv the growth
of different districts of China, bat the two kinds
may be produced in either district, the differ-
ence being caused solely by the diveree 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."

all diseases. Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat Or. Pi-
nacete. In Britain the species of Arbor Vita
can only be considered as ornamental, low
shrubs or trees, well deserving of being culti-
vated, especially T. pindula; which, on ac-
count of its very gracefiil, long, slender, pen-
dulous shoots, ought to bo 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 T. p&n-
dula, are propagated by cuttings. Synonyrnes :

Lime-tree. Linn. 18, Or. 1, Nat Or. TUideea.
Ornamental, lofty-growing trees, well salted
for avenues and parks. They thrive well in
any soil, and are increased by layers or seeds ;
if by layers, the tree must l>e cut down close
to the ground, and from its roots a great nam*
ber of shoots are produced, in the following
year ; these will be strong enough to Uy down
the following autumn. Trees raised from seed
are far preferable to those raised from layera.
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-maka.

TujJlndsia, Linn. In honour of Elias Tillands,
professor of Physic at Abo. Linn. 6, Or. 1,
Kat. Or. Bromelidcea. These interesting
plants being epiphytal, will succeed well in
Daskets filled with moss, cut small, and
mingled with broken pots ; or they may be
fastened to pieces of wood, with moss round
their roots, and supplied regulaiiy with water.
The larger growing species may be treated like
the Pitcalmice and Brom^lia. Increase is by
suckers and seeds. Synonymes : 1, T. ery-

liolate leaves. The French call it ireJU, and
the English trefoil, or clover. Linn. 17, Or.
4, Nat Or. Fa^dcea. The white, red, and
yellow clover are among the most valuable
herbage plants adopted in European agricul-
ture. Lwxm has been recommended as supe-
rior to clover, and sainlfoin and varioas other
fo
leguminous plants have been highly extolled ;
ret the red clover for mowing, and the white
br pasturage, far excel all other plants in
these respects. All the species thrive in com-
mon earden 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 seeds. 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. Synonymea: 1, T. Cupdni; 2, T,

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 a^in plai^ted out into the
open ground. The seeds of T. mdtjus aro

IdcetB. T. cibArium 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 Ital^, Qermany, and
the south of France, whence immense quanti-
ties are imported. Dogs are taught to find
this fungus oy the smell, and to scratch it up
out of the earth. An instance is recorded of
a man having possessed this power. It is
brought to the table boiled or stewed. It is
reported to have a stimulating aphrodisiacal
qualit;^, which perhaps renders it more popular
tnan its flavour, which is trifling — dlbidum,
dbdrium. See Scleroderma.

in certain plants, of which the carrot is a
familiar example ; the peduncles or pedicels
spring from a common centre, and rise till they
form a flat tuft. The difference between an
umbel and a corymb is, that whilst in the latter
the flowers form a flat head, they do not, as in
the former, snnng from a common centre.

YacgInium, Linru An ancient Latin name,
whether of a berry or a flower is not satisfac-
torily known. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat Or. Vac-
einidcetB. All the species of this genus are well
woEth 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 nroner places, taking care to keep a
ball of eartn about the roots. If finally planted
out in autumn, the worms are apt ta throw
them out of the ground during winter. Syn<h

Valeriana, Neeker. 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 medicinsl
qualities of F. officindlis. Linn, 3, Or. I,
rTat. Or. VcUeriandceee. Most of the spedes
are very ornamental in flower-borders. Tht
perfectly hardy kinds succeed well in commfla
garden soil ; those from wanner elimata
should be grown in pots in a mixture of loea,
sand, and peat, and placed in a frame or
ipi^enhouse in winter. They are all readily
increased by division at the root. The root i
V. ojicindlis is eminently anti-spasmodic It
is very frequently prescribed with enoceas a
hysterical cases. In habitual coetiveness it ii
an excellent medicine. The unpleasant flavour
of VcUerian is best counteracted by a
addition of mace. Synonymet: 1, V, keien-

VInda, R. Broum, Vanda is the Sanscrit

Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat Or. Orckidduxm. 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 Saceolabium and Sarednihus^ produce from
thirty to one hundred spikes of flowers each ;
indeed, we know from tne best authority, that
there are single })lants of Saeeoldbium gtfUd-
tuniy 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 tne house. There are, however, excep-
tions to this rule ; as, fur instance, some of tne
stronger and more robust-growing kinds, such
as Vdnda RoaMrghii and F. muUifiorOy which
should be grown in wide shallow pots, care-
fully filled with cut sphagnum moss, and pot-
sherds broken small. We would recommend
oak branches for those intended to be grown
upon wood. They all reouire a good strong
moist heat, and a plentilul 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 thej 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
DUOS. Propagation is effected by carefully
detaching the lateral shoots after they have
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-

Verbena, Linn. Said to bo from ita Celtic
name, Ferfaen. Linn, 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or.
VerbendLceoB. This is a genus of extremely
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 daring the summer months.
Ae flowers of V. teuerioides have a delightful
jasmiue-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,

VfciA, Toumcfort. From inncio, to bind to-
gether ; because the species have tendrils by
which they bind other plants. Linn, 17,
Or. 4, Nat. Or. FabdceoB. Some of the
species of this gonns are well worth cnlti-
▼ating in the flower border for the beauty of
their flowers. They are of the easiest culture
in any common garden soil. The perennial
kinds may be readily increased by dividing
the root or by seeds. The seeds of the annual
kinds only require to be sown in the open
border in spring. F. mUva and its varieties
are extensively cultivated, and well known by
the common name of vetch, or tares ; they are
used as food for all kinds of cattle, and are
allowed to be more nutritive and profitable
than hay or any other herbage. Synonymea :

5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Violdcece. 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 §maller species succeed
best when grown in pots, in a mixture of loam,
peat, and sand. The species, natives of Ame-
rica, thrive best in vegetable mould or p^t,
and are readily Increased by parting the roots,
or by seeds. The ^enhouse and stove species
should be erown in a mixture of loam and
peat ; the herhaceous kinds of them are in-
creased bv seed, or dividing the roots, and the
shnibby kinds by cuttings, which root rosulily
when planted under a glass. The annual spe-
cies may be sown in tne open borders or on
rock-work. The Neapolitan violet, V. odordia
pdllido-plena, may be made to flower through-
out the winter and early spring, by placing it
in a stove or warm pit V. canhia is said to
be a famous agent in removing cutaneooa
diseases. Synonyma: 1, F. sariria; 2, F.

Or. OramindcecB. Z. aqudlica was cultivated
for a time in Middlesex and Ross-shire ; it
^rows on the margin of ponds, and is exceed-
ingly prolific of bland, farinaceous seeds, which
anord a very good meal. It abounds in all the
shallow streams of North- West America, where
its seeds contribute essentially to the support
of the wandering tribes of Indians, and feed
immense flocks of wild swans, geese^ and other
water-fowl. Pinkerton says, this plant seems
intended by nature to become the bread-corn
of the north.

MamndcecB. 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
npened cuttings root readily in sand, under a
glass. The hardy kinds are well fitted for
shrubberies, and are easily increased bv ripened
cuttings, planted in soil, with a glass over
them, or bv slips of the roots. The fruit of Z.
Jujvba and Ldtus is very excellent, and is par-
taken of by all classes of j)eople, in the coun-
tries to wnich these species are indigenous.
It is sweet and mealy. Synonynies : 1 , JRhdmnus

ZYQOPHf LLTTM, Linn. From zygos, a yoke, and
phyllon, a leaf ; the leaves are in pairs. Linn,
10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zygophylldceie. The spe-

in flower. The &tove 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. PahiJtgo 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 Gtutiiicum and Fabdgo.

SUPPLEMENT.
iV The lapse of time consequent on the poaeage through the press of a work of this description and
extent, has necessarily caused the omission of many plants that have been diacoTered 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.
