Phyllostachys—continued. 
P. fastuosa (proud).” /. bright 
neath, Sin. to Jin. long, jin. to

place of the fallen leaves; spikes 1jin. to ljin. long, consisting 
of eight to ten spikelets, disposed in a panicle. /. like those 
of P. viridi-glaucescens. Culms 6ft. or more in height. 1864. 
This must not be confused with Bambusa siexuosa (of Munro).

really borne singly, some of them 3in. long and lin. broad, 
ovate, acute, rounded at base, serrated, minutely tessellated. 
Culms green, channelled; internodes lin. to 2in. long, prettily 
zigzageed ; sheaths purple, fringed, with hairs; branches in

one edge. Culms deep green, eventually yellow, shining, 20ft. 
to 60ft. high, growing very quickly; sheaths tessellated, 
brownish, spotted with purple; developed branches in twos. 
One of the tinest of hardy Bamboos. Syn. P. edulis. 
P. nigra Boryana (Bory’s).* Culms green at first, rich 
yellow the second season, and blotched with purplish-brown ; 
bud-seales pale yellowish-green. One of the finest of the 
hardy Bamboos. 
P. n. nigro-punctata (black-dotted). Culms in the second 
season brown, with darker speckles all over. ‘Taller, more 
free-growing, and hardier than the type. SYN. Bambusa 
nigro-punctata (of gardens). 
P. nigro-punctata (black-dotted). A variety of P. nigra. 
P. Quilioi (Admiral Du Quilio’s). 7. 2in. to 8in. long, rather 
broad, serrated on one or both edges, dark green often spotted 
with brown above, glaucous heneath; petioles rather long. 
Culms 18ft. or more in height, nearly En. thick, brilliantly 
polished, dark green; noces stained with purple; sheaths 
pinkish-brown, mottled with purple; branches in twos. SyYNS. 
P. Mazeli, Bambusa Quilioi. 
P. ruscifolia (Ruscus-leaved). A synonym of P. Kuimasasa. 
P. sulphurea (sulphur-coloured).* This handsome, golden- 
stemmed species resembles P. mitis, but it is smaller, with 
more sharply-serrated leaves, and the culms are more 
brilliantly coloured. h. 13ft. or more, Not hardy. Allied to 
P. mitis. SYN. Bambusa sulphurea. 
P. viminalis (twiggy). A synonym of P. Kuwimasasa. 
P. violescens (violet). /. 2in. to Tin. long, lanceolate, finely 
pointed, dark green above, glaucous beneath. Culms at first 
deep violet, almost black, changing to dingy yellow or brown ; 
sheaths purplish-brown, with a strongly-marked ligule. A. 13ft. 
or more. Not hardy. Syn. Bainbusa violescens. 
P. viridi-glaucescens (green and glaucous).* /. lanceolate, 
finely pointed, serrated mostly on one edge, 3in. to 4in. long, 
4in. broad, bright green above, glaucous beneath. Culms 18ft. 
or more in height, 2in. thick, bright green, then dingy yellow, 
zigzagged ;. branches very long in proportion to the internodes, 
scantily leafy. Rootstock rapidly running. The best of the tall- 
growing ones. 
PHYLLOTRETA. To this genns, dealt with in 
Vol. IIl., at least one other species must be named as 
being especially troublesome to gardeners. This is P. atra, 
which will attack both flowers and foliage of many well- 
known plants—Stocks, Virginia Stocks, and Tropxolums. 
The best remedy against them is that suggested under 
Turnip Flea, or Turnip Fly. Or qnicklime and 
green above, glaucous be- 
lin.- broad, sharply pointed 
the end. A beautiful, tall, 
“sulphur, in about equal parts, may be dusted over the 
foliage. 
PHYLLOXERA OF THE VINE. According to 
the ‘‘Revne Horticole,”’ some practical experiments have 
been conducted in France with a view to still farther 
lessening the chance of attacks by this pest. All Vine 
shoots intended for propagating purposes are immersed 
in water of from l04deg. to 120deg. Fahr. ‘This, is 
sufficient, it is stated, to destroy eggs and insects alike. 
PHYLLOXERA VASTATRIX. 
Vine Louse. 
PHYSALIS. To the species described on p. 
Vol. III., the following should be added: 
See Grape or 
115, 
Fig. 632. PuHYSALIS FRANCHETI. 
P. Francheti (Franchet’s).* 7., mature calyx coral-red or 
tinged with orange, about 3in, long and Tin. to Sin. in circum- 
ference. JU. very large and long-petiolate. Stem simple, 
glabrous. h. 14ft. Japan, 1894. This species closely resembles 
the old P. Alkekengi (of which it is probably_a variety), but 
has larger fruit. A robust grower. See Fig. 632. (G. C. 1894, 
xvi., pp. 434, 441, f. 57; Gn. 1896, i., 1059.)

PHYSIANTHUS. See also under Araujia. 
PHYSIC NUT. ‘See Jatropha. 
PHYSOCARPA. Included under Neillia (which 
see). 
PHYSOCHLAINA. P. prvalia is the correct name 
P. physaloides is now regarded as a 
of P. grandiflora. 
species of Scopolia. 
PHYSOPODA. See Thrips. 
PHYSOSIPHON. To the species described on 
p. 116, Vol. IIL, the following should be added. Both 
are allied to P. Loddigesti. * 
P. guatemalensis (Guatemalan). /. yellow, and purple,
