A small genus of stove evergreen trees, with racemose 
spikes of small flowers and bipinnate or decompound leaves. 
They thrive well in a mixture of peat and loam. Increased 
-by cuttings, which should be taken off at a joint and 
planted in heat in a pot of sand, placing a bell glass 
_over them.

Apocynacee. Greenhouse evergreen succulent shrubs. The 
~ species mentioned below is remarkable in having a globose 
“thick caudex or stem; branches dichotomous; corolla 
salver-shaped. They require a well-drained compost of, 
sand and loam. Half-ripened cuttings strike root readily 
in sand, under a hand glass. But little water is required 
‘the plants are not in a growing state.

ADENOCARPUS (from aden, a gland, and karpos, a

racemes of yellow flowers; divaricate branches, trifolinte 
usually aggregate leaves, having petiolar stipulas, and 
complicated leaflets. Al the species are elegant when 
in flower, and well suited for ornamenting the fronts 
of shrubberies. Except where otherwise mentioned, all 
are hardy. They thrive best in a mixture of loam, peat, 
and sand; and may be readily increased by seeds or layers, 
or by grafting the rarer on the commoner kinds. Young 
cuttings will root freely in sand, covered s dig arna 
which should be taken off and wiped 
may be sown in March, the hardy species out of s Tage oo 
the others in a cold house. :

ADENOPHORA (from aden, a gland, and phoreo, to

base of the style). ORD. Campanulacee. A genus of elegant 
hardy border , very similar in habit, shape of 
flower, &c., to Campanula, from which genus Adenophora 
differs in having the style surrounded by a cylindrical 
gland. Flowers stalked, drooping, spicate. Leaves b: 
stalked, somewhat whorled. They grow best in light riok : 
garden soil, with a warm sunny position, and should 
increased by seeds, as dividing the roots is the sure way 
to lose them. They are easily raised from seeds, which 
may b n as soon as ripe, or in spring, in pots p 
a cold frame.
