1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &C. 165 
BUCKLEYA (a commemorative name). SyYns. 
Nestronia, Quadriala. Orp. Santalacew. A small genus 
(two or three species) of tall, branched, hardy shrubs, 
of which one is Japanese, and the other one or two are 
North American. Flowers dicecious, the males umbellate 
and bractless, the females solitary and furnished with four 
bracts. Fruit ovoid or oblong. Leaves opposite or rarely 
scattered, shortly petiolate, acuminate, entire, penniveined. 
5. distichophylla, the only species introduced, is one of the 
rarest of North American plants ; it thrives in ordinary soil, 
and may be increased by cuttings. 
B. distichophylla (distichous-leaved). fl. greenish, and, as well 
as the fruit, inconspicuous. /. thin, light green, lin, to 14in. long, 
scarcely petiolate, nearly 2 pte) distichous, lanceolate, acute, 
ae Branches slender, gracefully spreading. h. 6ft. to 
2ft. North America, 1890. (G. & F. iii., p. 237, f. 37.) 
BUD. See Buds (Flower and Leaf). 
BUDDING. Vines that are deficient in spurs, or 
strong, healthy ones of poor flavour, may rapidly be im- 
proved by means of Buds of the same, or of better varie- 
ties being Budded upon them. ‘Taking those that have 
long bare stems, Buds may be inserted wherever a spur 
is needed, employing the same variety. The best time 
for the operation is immediately prior to starting the 
Vines into growth, taking a Bud with wood attached, as 
in the ordinary Vine-eye, for propagation. On the opposite 
side to the eye, about half of the wood is cut away, or in 
other words to the pith. A corresponding piece of the 
bark is cut from the Vine-rod, and the Bud is fitted to 
the eut thus made, taking care that the bark of the Bud 
and that of the Vine-rod are exactly opposite and close 
together on one if not on both sides. After tying the Bud 
firmly in place, the whole, except the eye of the Bud, 
should be covered with damp moss, keeping this damp 
daily until the Bud has commenced to grow freely and 
the union is complete. By this means Vines may not only 
be made to have plenty of spurs, but worthless sorts 
rapidly changed into good ones with little trouble or 
expense.

BUFF-TIP MOTH. This handsome Moth, 
described in Vol. I., is a fairly omnivorous feeder. 
For Limes, Oaks, Alders, Beech, Birch, Willows, Wych 
and other Elms, the caterpillars have a marked partiality ; 
but they do not disdain to attack fruit trees, and 
less often Rose trees. They are gregarious and very 
Fig. 183, Burr-Trp Mots (Male, Pupa, and Larva), 
voracious, and will quickly defoliate a tree. The Moth 
is nocturnal, and seldcm noticed upon the wing; and 
even when at rest upon a tree-trunk it is most difficult 
to differentiate. In fact, it more closely approximates 
to a piece of stick whose end has been obliquely cut off 
than to a Moth. The caterpillars, feeding*’as they do in 
companies, should readily be destroyed. ‘ Perfect insect 
(male), pupa, and larva, are shown at Fig. 183.
