110 ON THE PROPAGATION AND CULTIVATION OF PLANTS. 



plant of New Zealand for the green-house, with flat-sided stems, 

 bearing very few leaves, and neat little flowers, prettily striped, 

 produced in racemes in abundance, succeeding well in an equal 

 mixture of light loam, peat and sand ; and young cuttings planted 

 in pots of sand under a bell glass will strike root. Young plants 

 may be raised from seeds, which sometimes ripen. Brown named 

 this plant in honour of Capt. D. Carmichael, F.L.S. 



Genera 46. Cyaneopsis. CI. 17, or. 4, sp. 1. Named by De 

 Candolle, from kyamos, a bean, and opsis, resemblance. 



Genera 47. Clitoria. CI. 17, or. 4, sp. 12. La Clitore, Fi\ ; 

 Die klitorisblume, Ger. A pretty tropical genus, that flowers abun- 

 dantly when grown in a mixture of loam and peat, and generally 

 produces perfect seeds, but requires to be kept in a warm situation. 

 Cuttings will strike root under a bell-glass in sand plunged in heat. 

 C. ternatia was first brought to Europe from Ternate, one of the 

 Molucca Islands, which induced Tournefort to adopt Ternatia 

 as a generic appellation, but continued by Linnaeus as a specific 

 one. The tender annual species must be raised on a hotbed frame, 

 or in the hothouse from seeds. Linn^us derived the present ge- 

 neric name from Hew, to include. 



Genera 48. Cologania. CI. 17, or. 4, sp. 2. Named by Kunth, 

 from its being found in Colagon. 



Genera 49. Chectocalyx. CI. 17, or 4. sp. I. A very pretty genus 

 of climbing plant for the stove, thriving well in an equal mixture 

 of sandy loam and peat ; and young cuttings planted in pots of 

 sand under hand-glasses will root freely, but they require to be 

 potted ofT as soon as rooted, or they are liable to turn mouldy. 

 De Candolle named it from chaite, a bristle, and kalyx, calyx. 



Genera 50. Colutea. CI. 17, or 4, sp. 5. Bladder Senna. 

 La baguenaudier, Fr. ; Der blazenbaum, Ger. Shrubs with mem- 

 branaceous inflated pods, free growers and flowcrers, well adapted 

 to introduce among extensive shrubberies ; thriving well in com- 

 mon garden soil ; and are increased by seeds, which ripen plenti- 

 fully. Linn* us named it from kolus, to amputate; being sup- 

 posed to die after any quantity of branches arc cut oil'.
