 GrammecB. A nun genus (three or four species) of 

 tufted, annual, usually dwarf, hardy grasses, inhabiting 

 the MBililiiiifMii region. Flowers in a narrow, dense 

 or rather loose panicle, with erect branchlets. Leaves 

 narrow, sometimes bristly. 8. marginatiu has been 

 introduced, but it has no horticultural interest

 SCHIVERECXIA. Included under Alytnm. 

 SCHIZ2BA (from tchizo, to split; in allusion to the 

 fan-shaped or dichotomonsly-multifid fronds). Comb or 

 Bush Fern. Including Aetinottachyt and Lophidium. 

 OKD. F&icet. A genus comprising about sixteen species 

 of ornamental, stove, greenhouse, or hardy Ferns, widely 

 diffused. Capsules sessile, two-valved, in two to four 

 rows, covering one side of close, distichous spikes, which 

 form separate fertile segments at the tips of the fronds. 

 The introduced species are described below; they are 

 rather difficult subjects to grow. A compost of rough 

 peat and loam, ample drainage, and an abundance of 

 water, are necessary. For general culture, tee Terra. 

 S. bifid* (twice-deft).* ttL dense, chestnut-brown, passing gra- 

 dually tote the fronds, which are dm. to ISin. long, forked 

 generally below the middle, sometimes forked again, casually

 A genus comprising six species of orna- 

 mental, stove, greenhouse, or hardy, sarmentose shrubs; 

 one is a native of North America, and the rest are 

 found in tropical or Eastern Asia. Flowers red, yel- 

 lowish, or whitish, unisexual; sepals and petals nine to 

 twelve, passing gradually the one into the other; sta- 

 mens of the males five to fifteen, more or less united 

 in a globe or ring; carpels of the females numerous; 

 peduncles solitary, one-flowered. Leaves membranous, 

 pellucid-dotted, exstipulate. The under-mentioned spe- 

 cies are those best known in gardens; they thrive in a 

 mixture of sandy loam and peat. Eipened cuttings will 

 root readily if inserted in sand, under a glass.
