B. triphylla is a beautiful, and not very tender plant, which flowers great part of the year; var. /3 has smooth shining leaves, and flowers of a deeper scarlet than the other. B. versicolor requires the warmest part of the green-house, and the cuttings require bottom heat, with the same soil as the plants. 288. Ixora. A name of doubtful origin. Iswara is the name of an Indian divinity. According to Sweet, the species of this beautiful genus " require to be kept in a moist heat to thrive well; but not plunged in tan, as that is almost certain to injure their roots. A mixture of sandy loam and peat is the best soil for them. Care must be taken to keep them clean and free from insects, or they will not thrive. Cuttings root very freely in sand under a hand-glass. 289. Catesbtsa. So named by Gronovius, in honor of Mark Catesby, author of the natural history of Caro- lina,&c. who discovered the first species of this genus. It is very ornamental. C. spinosa has flowers about six inches long, in the form of a Roman trumpet, and succeeded by fruit the size of a pullet's egg; the skin smooth and yellow, and the pulp like that of a ripe apple, with an agreeable teste. It does not flower very freely, but strikes root readily in sand under a bell-glass, and in moist heat 290. Pavetta. The name of the plant in Malabar. A small genus nearly related to Ixora, with flowers usu- ally white, as those of Ixora are red. 291. Ernodea. From inu&ris, branching, in allusion to the habit of the plant 292. Siderodendrum. From tri&r&s, iron, and SevSgoy, a tree. Wood, compared for hardness to iron. This tree may be noticed on account of an anomaly which occurs in the corolla, which is often changed, perhaps by some insect, into an oblong bag, half an inch in length, fleshy, and hollow within, and ending in a point at top like a fruit Cuttings of ripened wood root in sand under a hand-glass. 293. CoccocypsUum. From xaxmx, fruit, and xv^tiXri, a vase, its berry being surmounted by a corona resem- bling a little cup. Cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass. 291. Mitchella. Named after John Mitchell, an Englishman, who travelled in Virginia, and left some papers upon North American plants behind him. This is one of those plants which Humboldt (Dc Distrib. Plant.) calls Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. |
