LI PARIS. This name is also applied to a moth, often 

 named Liparis dispar, but more properly Hypogymna 

 dispar. It is occasionally extremely destructive to all 

 sorts of trees, including fruit, street, and forest trees. 

 The male is smoky brown, and the female yellowish- 

 white. The caterpillar is reddish-brown, with a line of 

 reddish tubercles on each side. The Gipsy Moth, as it 

 is called, is not so common in this country as it has been 

 in former times, and the caterpillars being large and 

 conspicuous, they should be hand-picked when seen.

LI'PPIA. (Commemorative of Augustus Lippi, a

Greenhouse and half-hardy, deciduous shrubs. L. 

 citriodo'ra will live out in the milder parts of the country 

 against a wall. Cuttings in July and August in sandy 

 soil in a cold frame or hand-light, and in March in heat. 

 Loam, leaf-mould, and sand.

LIQUIDA'MBAR. (From liquidus, liquid, and ambar, 

 amber ; referring to the gum called liquid storax produced 

 by some species. Nat. ord. Witch Hazels [Hamameli- 

 daceae]. Linn. zi-Moncecia, q-Polyandria.) 



Hardy, and half-hardy deciduous trees. Cuttings, but 

 layers chiefly ; also by imported seeds, which should 

 not be taken out of the catkins until they are to be 

 sown ; if exposed to sun or fire-heat the catkins crack, 

 and the seeds easily shake out. They often require a 

 year to send up their seedlings ; moist, loamy soil.
