LABISIA. To the species described on p. 223, 
Vol. II., the following should be added: 
L. alata (winged). fl. white within, flesh-coloured outside, 
small; thyrse spike-formed, axillary, 4in. to 6in. long; 
eduncle minutely rusty-scurfy. J. alternate, sessile, 6in. to

L. Malouiana (Malou’s).* 7. sub-sessile, 8in. to 10in. long, 
23in. to 34in. broad, lanceolate, acuminate, velvety, dark green, 
irregularly marked pale green down the middle, red and purple 
when young ; petioles very short, sheathing at base. Stem short, 
erect, warted, slightly copper-coloured, spotted white. Borneo, 
1885. (I. H. 1885, t. 580.) 
L. smaragdina (emerald-green). /l. pink, elegant, disposed in 
anicles. 7. in a rosette, oblanceolate, obtuse, bright green. 
lant nearly stemless. Borneo, 1892. (I. H. 1892, t. 160.) 
LABURNUM. Including Podocytisus. The seed is 
ripe in autumn, and may be sown in light soil in spring 
in the open air and covered with fine soil. The seedlings 
should be lifted carefully, and transplanted into nursery 
cows, allowing sufficient room for each plant to develop. 
The Laburnum is a valuable tree for landscape planting, 
provided it is used with discretion. It looks best in groups, 
and if associated with the Flowering Thorn the effect is 
remarkably pretty. 
To the species and varieties described on p. 224 
Vol. II., the following should be added: 
L. Adami pendulus (pendulous). A variety with drooping 
branches. 1871. 
L. Alschingeri 
“Alschingeri. 
L. anagyroides (Anagyris-like). 
5) 
(Alschinger’s) A synonym of Cytisus 
According to the ‘ Index 
Kewensis,” this is the correct name of L. vulgare. L. autumnalis, 
L. bullatum, L. grandijlorum, L. monstruosum fastigiatum, 
L. serotinum, and L. tardijlorwm are forms of the common 
species. 
LABURNUM, NATAL. 
gyne. 
LABURNUM MOTH (Leucoptera laburnella). This 
is one of the Tineidez, and its larva is responsible for the 
disfiguring blisters found upon Laburnum foliage. Apart, 
too, from the appearance of the trees, the general health 
suffers, especially in bad attacks. The Moth is a very 
common and an abundant one, not only in England, but 
oyer the whole of Central Europe, and being double- 
brooded it is capable of inflicting much damage. 
The Moths are only about 8mm. in the stretch of the 
wings, and fly in May and again in Angust. Though so 
minute, they are delicately beautiful. The fore-wings are 
white, with yellow bars and spots, and elegantly fringed ; 
the hind-wings are whitish. The body is grey, with two 
spots on each segment. The eggs are deposited upon the 
leaves, and the caterpillars hatch out in June. “They 
quickly mine the leaves, causing spiral, blister-like blotches, 
which in some cases coalesce. They are green-whitish, 
and about jin. long when full-fed. The pupal state of the 
first brood is passed in a whitish cocoon upon the under- 
surface of the leaves. From these pup the second brood 
of Moths hatch out in August, and act similarly to the 
first brood. The pupal state, however, of this latter brood 
is passed beneath the food-plant, from which the larve 
descend by a cord, and the insects remain in that condition 
all winter, to appear as Moths in spring of the following 
ear. 
z Where trees were known to be affected one season it 
would be a good plan to spray the food-plant with some 
objectionable substance in April and May. This might 
act as a deterrent to the females when egg-laying. 
Once the larve have mined the foliage, little can be 
done except pinching affected leaves between finger and 
thumb, or removing the foliage and burning it. The 
later brood may, however, be more easily dealt with by 
placing tarred boards beneath the infested tree and 
jarring it, when the insects will let themselves down by 
the silken threads and be readily captured. Further 
measures consist in removing the soil to a depth of 
several inches, burying it deeply, and then replacing it 
with fresh. Lime and soot in mixture would also prove 
distasteful if liberally dusted upon the soil just prior to 
the time when the second brood of larve descend for 
pupating. 
LACZNA. Syn. Navenia. Flowers rather large, 
loosely racemose, shortly pedicellate; lip continuous with 
the foot of the column; scape below the pseudo-bulbs, 
recuryed, many-sheathed. Leayes ample, plicate-yeined, 
contracted into the petioles. 
LACATHEA. Included under Gordonia (which see), 
the correct name of L. florida being G. pubescens.
