JABOROSA (derived from the Arabic word Jabarose, 
which was applied to the Mandrake, from its affinity to 
that plant). ORD. Solanacew. A genus comprising six or 
seven species of pretty greenhouse or hardy herbaceous 
perennials, one of which is from Mexico and the rest from 
the Andes and extra-tropical South America. Flowers 
white or yellowish, solitary ; corolla campanulate or tubular; 
J. integrifolia (entire-leaved), ji. white; corolla 2in. long, with 
acute si p i J 
ORD. Bigno- 
niacee. A genus comprising about thirty species of 
ornamental stove shrubs and trees, somewhat resembling 
in habit the fine-leaved species of Acacia. Flowers blue 
or violet, showy, panicled, usually terminal; corolla tubular - 
at the base, much dilated above, campanulate, ventricose - 
beneath. Leaves opposite, bipinnate. J. mimosifolia is, 
probably, the best-known of the two or three species 
in cultivation. It thrives in a compost of sandy peat 
and fibry loam; plenty of drainage is most essential. 
Cuttings of half-ripened shoots will root, during the early 
summer months, in sand over sandy peat; they should 
be placed in heat, and kept shaded until well rooted. 
The same treatment will answer with the second species.
