OF HORTICULTURE. 539 
Eulophia—continued. 
E. euglossa (pretty-lipped). fl., sepals and petals green, 
lanceolate, acuminate, ncarly equal, spreading ; lip trifiđd ; lateral 
segments semi-ovate, acute, greenish-yellow; middle segment 
q semi-oblong, acute, somewhat crisp, white, with some radiating 
| purple streaks on the base; spur clavate, green. J. cuneate- 
i oblong, acute, 1ft. long. Old Calabar, 1866. A rather curious 
parts requiring plenty of heat to flower it successfully. (B. M. 
5561. 
E. guineensis (Guinea). ^. whitish-pink; lip membranous, 
complete; spur ascending. May to November. J. lanceolate, 
nerved. h. lft. Sierra Leone, 1822. $

diameter across the lateral sepals, erecto-patent ; lip very concave, 
olden-yellow, with red-purple stripes on the disk, broader than 
ong, obtusely shallowly three-lobed, January. l. about two, 
from the top of the pseudo-bulb, oblong-lanceolate, acuminate, 
contracted into a petiele, membranous, plaited, about three- 
ribbed. Pseudo-bulbs elongate, conical, terete, striated. Ceylon, 
1837. A very desirable plant, on account of its late flowering. 
(B. M. 6246.) 
E. virens (greenish). fl., sepals and petals yellowish-green, tessel- 
. lated with brown lines, nearly equal, oblong, bluntly pointed, 
narrowed at base; lip longer than the petals, white, with purple 
streaks, three-lobed, the lateral ones being shortened, and the 
central one crisp at margin, obtuse and recurved at apex, and 
furnished with rows of dark hairs along its disk; spur short, 
conical. Pseudo-bulbs roundish-ovate, 2in. to 3in. long, bearing 
several narrow grassy leaves. Ceylon, 1866. (B. M. 5579.)

contains a couple of species (both natives of the moun- 
tainous regions of Asia Minor) of very pretty little 
half-hardy evergreen sub-shrubs, admirably adapted for 
rockwork. Increased by cuttings, placed under a glass, 
in summer; or by seeds, sown in a similar situation, in 
spring. 
E. oppositifolia (opposite-leaved). 
twelve-fiowered, terminal. June. 
— smooth. Stem decumbent, branched. 
fl. whites, racemes ten or 
l. opposite, almost orbicular, 
h. 6in. to 12in. 
EUONYMUS (Euonomon, the name given to this 
plant by Theophrastus, from eu, good, and onoma, a 
name), Spindle-tree. ORD. Celastrinee. A genus of 
interesting hardy or half-hardy, deciduous or evergreen, 
trees or shrubs. Flowers small, often greenish or pur- 
plish; peduncles axillary. Leaves opposite, petiolate, 
entire, or serrate. Branches terete. They are of very 
easy culture in any ordinary garden soil, and form ex- 
cellent subjects for low, close fences, or shrubberies. 
The species with variegated leaves are well suited as 
edgings to large beds. Propagated readily by cuttings, 
about 3in. in length, of the last season’s growth; these 
should be inserted in a fine compost of lom and sand, 
in early autumn. — 
E. americanus (American). Burning Bush; Strawberry Bush. 
fl. greenish porvle ; petals nearly orbicular ; peduncles one to three 
flowered. June. Jr. scarlet. Ù ovate to oblong-lanceolate, acute,
