GALEDUPA. A synonym of Pongamia (which see). 
GALEGA. To the species, &c., described on p. 42, 
Vol. II., the following should be added. Several plants 
that were formerly included hereunder are now referred to 
Tephrosia. 
G. biloba (two-lobed). 
bluish-lilac flowers. 
G. officinalis africana (African). 1. purplish ; racemes longer 
than inthe type. /. broader and more obtuse. 
G. 0. alba (white).* A pretty variety bearing pure white flowers 
and growing 34ft. to 4ft. 
G. o. bicolor (two-coloured).

a delicate lilac. 3ft.

(H. E. F,, t. 185.) 
GALEOLA. Syns. Cyriosia, Hematorchis, Ledgeria, 
Pogochilus. Flowers mediocre or rather large ; lip sessile 
at the base of the column, broad, concave. 
GALINSOGEA. Included under Tridax (which see). 
GALIPEA. G. frifoliata furnishes the Angostura-bark 
of commerce. G. heterophylla, G. macrophylla, and G. odora- 
tissima are now classed under Cusparia. 
GALL MIDGES. See Cecidomyia. 
GALTONIA. This genus now embraces three species. 
Flowers white, showy, in a long, loose raceme; perianth 
tube rather broad, rounded at base, the lobes as long as 
the tube, spreading; stamens six, affixed to the throat 
or tube, shorter than the lobes; scape simple, leafless. 
Leaves few, radical. 
G. candicans will not thrive outside, except the position 
be a sunny one and the soil light, rich, and well drained. 
In such favoured spots, however, it makes a splendid 
show, and associated with early Gladioli a nice effect 
is created. In Guernsey the plants are seen to perfection. 
They may be planted in either autumn or spring, the 
latter for preference, and the bulbs should be buried 
some 6in. or 7in. Once planted, they should not be 
frequently interfered with, as they resent such treatment. 
Potted up for the conservatory or for the greenhouse they 
are excellent, and may be had in flower either early or 
late in the year. Bulbs so treated should, however, be 
returned to the borders. Seeds should be sown in March. 
To the species described on p. 43, Vol. II., the following 
should be added: 
G. clavata (club-shaped). 1. scentless, arranged in a lax raceme; 
perianth tube clavate, about lin. long, the segments Jin. long, 
oblong, obtuse; peduncle 2ft. high. Autumn. 7. six or eight, 
sessile, lanceolate, glabrous, glaucous-green, 2ft. long. 1879. An 
unattractive plant. (B. M. 6885.)

the two species indicated in the name. 1899.

see). 
GAMMA MOTH, or SILVER Y MOTH. See 
Plusia. 
GAMOLEPIS (from gameo, to marry or unite, and 
lepis, a scale ; in allusion to the connate involucral scales), 
Ord. Composite. A genus embracing about a dozen 
species of greenhonse or half-hardy shrubs or rarely herbs, 
natives of South Africa, only differing from Euryops in 
haying no pappus. G. annua requires the ordinary treat- 
ment of half-hardy annuals. For culture of the other 
species in cultivation, see Othonna. 
G. annua (annual).* _1.-heads bright yellow or orange; involucral 
bracts ten to fifteen. /. lin. to lsin. long, pinnati-partite ; lobes 
five to seven on each side, 4in. to Zin. long, linear, entire or with 
one or two lobules. Branches flexuous. h. Sin. to 10in. A slender, 
wiry, glabrous, mostly branching annual. Syn. G. Tagetes. 
G. euryopoides (Ewryops-like). _/l.-heads yellow, borne on 
eduncles 2in. to 4in. long. 7. crowded, lin. to 14in. long, mostly 
rifid to the middle (some entire) ; lobes about 4in. long, linear, 
concave, thickish, sub-acute. A. 2ft. . An erect, leafy 
bush, with the aspect of Eurvops abrotanifolia. (B. M. 6249.) 
G. Tagetes (Tagetes). A synonym of G. annua.

GAMOPETALOUS. The same as Monopetalons. 
Having the petals more or less joined, so as to form a 
tube or cup. 
GAMOPLEXIS. A synonym of Gastrodia (which 
see). 
Sawer eD Ee: Included under Narcissus (which 
see). 
GARCINIA. Syn. Brindonia. Of the three dozen 
species embraced in this genus, seven are tropical African, 
and the remainder are found in tropical Asia and 
Polynesia. Flowers polygamous; sepals and petals four 
or five each, the former decnssate, the latter imbricated. 
To the species described on p. 43, Vol. II., the following 
should be added: 
G. SE (Hanbury’s). l., males axillary, solitary or in 
groups of three to six, on pedicels fin. to 4in. long; females 
solitary, axillary, much larger than the males. fr. spherical, 
larger than that of G. Morelia. 1. more ovate in form and some- 
times 7in. long and 4in. wide. /. 30ft. to 60ft. Cochin-China, &c. 
This is one of the species producing gamboge. 
G. ovalifolia (oval-leaved). A synonym of Yanthochymus ovali- 
Solius. 
G. Xanthochymus. A synonym of Yanthochymus pictorius. 
GARDEN. By far the larger number of Gardens 
met with are those attached to villas, and usually the 
space at command is not well utilised. It has now 
become a recognised thing to set apart the ground 
found behind most dwelling-houses entirely for the 
cultivation of flowers, as vegetables may now be obtained 
so cheaply that in small quantities they are not worth 
growing. 
The designs given may readily be followed by the 
amateur, without the aid of costly tools or the experience 
of a skilled workman. To take the simplest form 
(Fig. 388): Set out the border about 3ft. wide along 
one side of the Garden, and line it up with edge- 
tiles, bricks, or even a boarded edge; from this line 
measure 2ft. 6in. for the gravel path, and at several 
intervals place some small stakes. Now pass a line of 
string along these stakes, which will form the boundary 
of the lawn. Next set out the centre flower-bed, which 
is arranged after the shape of a Maltese cross. To do 
this, drive some small stakes at the four extreme corners, 
as shown by the black dots (Fig. 388). Then measure 
and stake ont the inside square, and place stakes (as 
illustrated by the black dots) for the corners of the 
ficures. Now if some twine is passed from stake to 
stake (as shown by the dotted lines), the outline of the 
figure is at once obtained. 
Information on the making of Lawns will be found under 
that heading in Vol. II., as well as a little later on in the 
present volume. . ; 
A summer arbour may be fixed in one corner, which 
shonld be the shadiest of the four corners. Fig. 389 is a 
cross-section of the ground showing the level of the path, 
lawn, and flower-bed. : 
Fig. 390 illustrates a design where the central bed is a 
diamond shape, surrounded with a grass lawn, which is 
edged with a rockery-work border 3ft. wide. This is a very 
suitable place for the cultivation of Ferns, &c. At the end 
of the lawn, a space abont 6ft. or 8ft. wide may be left for 
division between a summer arbour and a greenhouse. 
Fig. 391 shows the relative heights of rockery, lawn, and 
flower-bed, the setting out of which may be done by 
arranging string-lines on stakes, to represent the dotted 
lines shown in Fig. 390. 4 
Fig. 392 is a simple design, formed with a centre bed 
supported by two crescent-shaped beds, which are 
surrounded with a lawn and edged with a border 3ft. wide. 
In this case the principal part of the work is to lay the 
lawn and set out the beds, as there is no high elevation of 
the border. The beds are struck out by placing a stake 
at a (Fig. 392), and with a length of string equal to the 
radius of the circle required, and a sharp-pointed stick 
tied in, mark ont the circle in the soil. The centres for 
striking ont the crescents are given in the illustrations, the 
work being performed as above. A summer arbour occupies 
the central position at the end of the Garden. Fig. 393 
shows the relative heights. : ‘ 
In Fig. 394 design is introduced in which more ground 
is devoted to the flowers and less to the lawn. The border 
is 3ft. wide, edged with tile, wood, or bricks; the main
