SELECTION OF PLANTS. 107 



323. GLYCINE RUBICUNDA, or Red-flowered Glycine. 



This is a climber, which often rises to five or six feet ; 

 it blows from April to June, and is increased chiefly from 

 seed. 



Though this is considered a hardy greenhouse plant, 

 yet if it is planted against a house or a wall, and well shel- 

 tered, it may be preserved in the open air ; it is a native of 

 New Holland, and was first brought to England in 1788. 



It belongs to the 17th Class, under the head " Diadel- 

 phia Decandria." 



324. GLYCINE COCCINEA, or Scarlet Glycine. 



This is a more tender greenhouse plant than the above, 

 but a beautiful climber ; it rises as high as the other, but 

 requires more care to preserve it. 



It blossoms from April to June, and is increased by 

 seed ; is a native of New Holland, and was first brought to 

 England in 1790. 



It belongs to the 17th Class, under the head " Diadel- 

 phia Decandria.'' 



325. GLADIOLUS TRISTIS, or Square-stalked Corn Flag. 



This is a greenhouse plant, which produces its blossoms 

 in April or May, which are very fragrant ; it affects a light 

 loam and bog earth ; is increased by offsets, and must be 

 managed like all other Cape plants. 



This is a native of the Cape, and first brought to Eng- 

 land in 1745. 



It belongs to the 3rd Class, under the head " Triandria 

 Monogynia."
