CAREYA. (named after the Rev. William Carey, of 
Serampore, a distinguished botanist and linguist). ORD. 
Мутіасет. Very handsome stove trees, or small shrubs. 
Flowers large, with white petals and red or yellow stamens. 
Leaves alternate, feather-nerved, dotless, glabrous. А 
mixture of one part sandy loam and two parts fibry peat 
suits them best. Ripened cuttings root freely, if planted in 
sand, with a hand glass over them, and placed in a moist 
bottom heat. Careyas may also be propagated by dividing 
the roots.

Passiflorem. A genusof stove evergreen fruit-trees, without 
branches, yielding an acrid milky juice. Leaves alternate, 
palmately lobed, standing on long terete petioles. They 
grow well in a rich, loamy soil. Cuttings of ripe shoots, 
if not deprived of their leaves, will root readily in a sandy 
soil, under a bell glass, and in a gentle bottom heat. They 
are grown in this country more as curiosities than for 
either ornament or utility. ; с.

cent. Leaves opposite, furnished with intrapetiolar bristles. 
They are best grown in a compost of peat and loam. 
Cuttings of ripe wood will strike if placed in sand, under 
a glass, in bottom heat. They are of economical value in 
their native countries. T
