 milky, stove trees; one is a native of tropical America, and 

 tliG other ia tropical African. Flowers dioecious, the males 

 in cylindrical spikes, the females in globose or oblong 

 heads; inflorescences of both sexes shortly pedunculate, 

 solitary in the axila. Leaves alternate, petiolate, entire or 

 toothed, penniveined ; stipules lateral, caducous. The

 been referred to this genus, but not more than eighty are

 temperate and North), America (mostly North), North and 

 South Africa, and the Canary Islands. To the species and 

 Taneties described on pp. 318-24. Vol. I., the following

Varieties, This useful autumn and winter flower never 

 was so popular as it is at present. It is impossible to give 

 the names of all the new varieties sent out, even last 

 year and the year previous (1886-7), as the number of 

 them is upwards of 250. A few of them are improve- 

 ments on the old varieties, and are in the Japanese section 

 principally. The single-flowered varieties are aUo very 

 pretty, some of them being well worthy of cultivation, 

 even in select collections.
