9 D. cilia'tus (Blum, bijdr. 1119.) leaves oblong-lanceolate, 



is one of the most elegant hardy shrubs yet introduced to our 



gardens, as it produces its beautiful scarlet flowers the greater 



part of the year. It is a very proper plant for training against a 



wall, All the species may be increased by ripened cuttings off 8 D. spica'tus (Blum, bijdr. 1118.) leaves lanceolate, acumi- 



the roots, planted in a sheltered situation, with a hand-glass nated at both ends, quite entire or serrulated, and are, as well as 



placed over them. They are also to be increased by grafting the branches, glabrous ; spikes axillary and terminal, simple or 



the one on the other, or on any of the plants contained in the 



present order. 



t Genera doubtful whether they belong to the present order.

Lin. syst. Icos&ndria, Digynia. Flowers superior. Calyx 

 5-cleft, permanent, calyculated by 2-3 bracteas. Corolla deeply 

 4-r)arted. Stamens numerous, inserted in the base of the co- 

 rolla. Ovary inferior, 3-celled; cells many-seeded. Seeds pen- 

 dulous. Styles 2, crow^ned by obtuse trigonal stigmas. Drupe 

 baccate, containing a 1-3-celled nut; nut 1-seeded, 2 of the 

 cells being usually vacant. Seeds albuminous. Embryo linear, 

 somewhat incurved, inverted. 



1 D. TiNCTORius (Blum, bijdr. 1116.) leaves oblong, acumi- 

 nated, rounded at the base or acutish, finely serrulated, smooth, 

 rather pubescent at the ribs beneath, as well as the tips of the 

 branches and peduncles ; peduncles crowded, short, axillary ; 

 fruit smooth. ^2 • S. Native of Java, in mountain woods. 



Var. /3 ; leaves smaller, very much acuminated, acute at the 

 base, sharply serrated, covered w^th strigose down on the middle 

 nerve beneath, as well as the branches. Perhaps a species.

2 D. ODORATi'ssiMus (Blum. bijdr. p. 1116.) leaves elliptic- 



and calyxes ciliated ; fruit oval, smooth ; calycine segments 

 ovate, acute. Ij . S. Native of Java, on Mount Tjerimai.

10 D. acumina'tus (Blum, bijdr. 1119.) leaves oblong-lan- 

 ceolate, acuminated at both ends, finely serrulated at the apex, 

 and are glabrous as well as the branches ; panicles axillary or 

 almost terminal, smooth. ^ . S. Native of Java, on Mount 

 Salak. This species comes very near D. sylvaticus of Lour, 

 but the leaves are acuminated, and the serratures hardly con- 

 spicuous.

Cult. A mixture of loam, peat, and sand will suit the species 

 of this genus, and ripened cuttings will probably root if planted 

 in sand, with a hand-glass placed over them.

Lin. syst. Polycindriay Pentagynia. Calyx inferior, of 5 

 sepals, bibracteate, imbricate. Petals 5, imbricatcly-conniving 

 at the base. Stamens numerous, free, hypogynous, and some- 

 what adnate to the base of the petals. Anthers bursting out- 

 wardly. Ovary 5-celled ; cells biovulate. Styles 5, ap- 

 proximate, cmarginate. Pome globose, depressed, fleshy, 5- 

 celled ; cells covered with a papery membrane, containini^ 

 each two bony seeds. Seeds exalbuminous. Embryo erect, 

 with leafy contortuplicatc cotyledons. This genus has the habit 

 of Pomaccce, but from the structure of the calyx and insertion 

 of the stamens it comes nearer to Ternstroemidcece.
