Varieties. Several very desirable hybrid Dodecatheons

DOLIA (from dolios, deceptive; the plants closely 
resemble Salsola, to which, however, they are not related). 
Syns. Alibrevia, Aplocarya. ORD. Convolvulacer. A 
genus embracing abont a dozen species of stove or green- 
house, hairy or tomentose herbs or small shrubs, inhabiting 
the sea-shores of Peru and Chili. Flowers sub-sessile or 
pedicellate ; calyx five-cleft or fiye-parted ; corolla funnel- 
shaped, five-lobed. Leaves alternate, nearly opposite, or 
fascicled, small, rather thick. D. revoluta and D. tomentosa 
(both formerly classed under Alona) have been introduced, 
but are probably lost to cultivation.

DOLICHANDRA. Included under Macfadyena 
(which see). 
DOLICHANDRONE. Including Spathodea (in part). 
Orv. Bignoniaceey. A genus embracing about a dozen 
species of stove trees, inhabiting the hotter parts of Africa, 
Asia, and Australia. Flowers in terminal racemes or 
panicles ; calyx cleft to the base on one side, spathaceous ; 
corolla limb of five sub-equal lobes. Leaves opposite, 
pinnate. D. Rheedii (Syns. Spathodea longiflora and

Fit. 347. DOODIA ASPERA MULTIFIDA. 
DOODIA. The five species included in this genus are 
confined to the islands from Ceylon eastward to Fiji, New 
Zealand, and Australia, With the exception of D. blech- 
noides, the members of this genus are small but 
decorative. They are especially useful for Fern-cases 
and for edgings of window-boxes filled with taller- 
growing kinds. D. caudata is the most useful species 
grown, but D. media (Fig. 348) is an exceedingly pretty 
plant for greenhouses. Although some Doodias grow more 
Iuxuriantly in a stove temperature, and produce more 
massive foliage under such treatment, none of them actually 
require great heat; the cool and intermediate houses are 
the places suitable to all of them. They are also very usefal 
for forming an undergrowth in cool houses deyoted to either 
Orchids, Palms, or flowering subjects. They are seldom in- 
fested with insects, and they bear fumigation without injury. 
As they are of a very accommodating nature, Doodias, 
when planted under or grown amongst other plants, bear 
with impunity the syringings that may be found necessary
