ADENOSTOMA (from aden, a gland, and stoma, a 
mouth). ORD. Rosaceæ. Hardy having small race- 
mose, five-petalled flowers. They grow freely in rich loam and 
- peat in equal proportions. Propagated in spring or 
~ autumn, by cuttings made of the young shoots, placed in 
sand, under glass.

Chiefly greenhouse evergreen shrubs, or trailers, from South 
America, with lanceolate stipulas, abruptly pinnate ‘eae. 
ending in a bristle; axillary one-flowered pedicels, or 
flowers racemosely disposed at the tops of the branches, 
in consequence of the upper leaves being abortive. They 
will grow well in a mixture of loam, peat, and sand. Pro- 
_pagated by cuttings placed in sand, covered by a hand glass, 
in a gentle heat; or by seeds, which are generally more 
: The annual species—A. muricata, A. pap- 
posa, and A. pendula—are not worth growing. The fol- 
lowing | are fairly ire of the most ornamental 
A. glutinosa (sticky).* fl. yellow ; racemes elongated, terminal,

in great profusion. Increased by young cuttings in spring, 
placed in sandy soil, in bottom heat. See Justicia. 
A. cydonizfolia (quince-leaved).* fl. produced in rather dense 
clusters at the point of every branch; tube of corolla white, the 
upper lip white tipped with purple ; the lower lip large, rich deep 
purple, with a white stripe down the centre. October. l o po- 
site, ovate, dark green, and are, as well as the branches, slightly 
downy. Brazil, 1855. This species is an excellent subject for 
training up pillars or rafters ; and, when in bloom, makes a pretty 
basket “plant. It has a somewhat straggling habit, but a little 
care only is needed in pruning and training to grow it into an 
elegant shape. 
A. vasica (Vasica). h. 10ft. India, 1699, 
ADHERENT. Strictly signifies sticking to anything, 
but is more commonly employed in the sense of adnate. 
ADHESION. The union of parts usually distinct, 
ADIANTOPSIS. See Cheilanthes. 
ADIANTUM (from adiantos, dry, as if plunged in 
water it yet remains dry). Maidenhair. ORD. Filices. A 
large genus of handsome tropical and temperate ferns. 
Sori marginal, varying in shape from globose to linear, 
usually numerous and distinct, sometimes confluent and 
continuous. Involucre the same shape as the sorus, formed 
of the reflexed margin of the fronds, bearing the capsules 
on its upper side. None of the Adiantums are truly hardy 
except the American A. pedatum; even our own native 
species requires protection. The chief requirements of 
this handsome genus of ferns are good drainage, and a 
compost of fibrous peat, loam and sand. In most cases, 
plenty of pot room is essential, and a larger quantity of 
loam will be needed for strong-growing sorts. For general 
culture, see Ferns.
