lionaceous, in long panicles; colour various, red, blue, yel- 

 low, and pink. (Soil No. 6.) 



Jacksonias, a genus consisting of five species. The 

 foliage is varied, and all natives of New South Wales. J. 

 scoparia, J. horrida, and J. reliculata, are the finest; the 

 small flowers come out of the young shoots, are yellow and 

 papilionaceous ; the pots should be well drained. (Soil 

 No. 6.) 



Jambosa vulgdris, or Eugenia jdmbos, is a splendid 

 evergreen tree, producing a fruit of an agreeable odour and 

 called rose apple. J. australis has a very neat habit, and 

 produces purple fruit ; they are of the earliest culture in 

 soil No. 12. 



Jasminum, Jasmine. A few species of this genus are 

 celebrated either for the green-house or rooms. J. odo- 

 ratissimumi Azorian, has very sweet-scented yellow flow- 

 ers, blooming from April to November. J. revolulum is 

 the earliest flowering one, and of the same colour ; it is apt 

 to grow straggling, and should be close pruned as soon as 

 done blooming, which will be in May. J. pubigemm is 

 also yellow. J. grandiflorum is frequently called Catalo- 

 nian, and should be pruned early in spring to make it 

 bloom well, especially old plants. J. multifldrum, profuse 

 flowering white. These plants are all perfectly hardy in 

 the southern states. J. officinale is a hardy climbing plant 

 for arbours, walls, &c. There are several varieties of it. 

 (Soil No. 3.) 



Justicias. Only a few of the'se belong to the green- 

 house, and are very simple-looking flowers. (The most 

 beautiful of them belong to the hot-house.) J. nigricans, 

 small striped flower; /. orchioides and J. Jtdhdtoda, Mala- 

 nut, are the only ones that are worth observation, and are 

 very easily cultivated in any soil. 



jkennedias, about twelve species, all beautiful evergreen 

 climbers, of the easiest culture, and flower abundantly. K. 

 monophylla, blue-flowered, and K. rubicunda, crimson- 

 flowered, are common in our collections. K. prostrata, 

 one-flowered scarlet, and K. coccinea, many-flowered scar- 

 let, are very pretty. K. Comptonidna has splendid purple 

 flowers, K. nigricans, black flowers, and K. splendens and 

 K. marryatta are thought the most superb. They have 

 bright crimson flowers, and are yet rare in our collections.
