 ORD. PapaveracecB. A genus comprising three species 

 of hardy herbs (nearly allied to Chelidonium, from which 

 they principally differ in habit), with perennial rhizomes 

 and yellow juice; one is North American, a second is 

 Himalayan, and the third is found in Mandschuria and

Stylophorum continued. 



Japan. Flowers yellow or red; sepals two; petals four; 

 stamens numerous; peduncles elongated, solitary or sub- 

 fasciculate, at length nodding. Radical leaves pinnatifid 

 or absent ; canline ones few, alternate, or the floral ones 

 nearly opposite, lobed or dissected. Two species have 

 been introduced to this country. They thrive in any 

 light garden soil. Propagation may be effected by seeds, 

 sown in the open border, during April ; or by divisions 

 of the root.

 2in. broad ; peduncles equalling the petioles. May. I. pale or 

 glaucous beneath, smoothish, deeply pinnatifid into five or seven 

 oblong, sinuate-lobed divisions ; radical leaves often with a pair

 a flower ; alluding to the very long style). Pencil Flower. 

 ORD. Leguminosce. A genus comprising about fifteen 

 species of stove or greenhouse, perennial herbs, natives 

 of Asia, Africa, North America, and Brazil. Flowers 

 yellow (or white ?), variously disposed ; calyx tube fili- 

 form, with membranous lobes ; petals and stamens inserted 

 at the apex of the tube; standard orbicular. Leaves 

 pinnately trifoliolate, exstipellate ; stipules adnate to the 

 bases of the petioles. Several of the species have been 

 introduced, but they are scarcely worthy of cultivation, 

 except in botanical collections. 



STYLURUS. Included under Grevillea (which

STYPANDRA (from stype, tow, and aner, andros, 

 an anther; alluding to the downy appearance of the 

 stamens). ORD. Liliacece. A small genus (three species) 

 of greenhouse half-hardy, perennial herbs, with fibrous 

 roots, natives of Australia. Flowers blue, in a very

 deciduous, of six spreading segments, all equal or the 

 inner ones broader ; stamens six ; pedicels filiform ; 

 bracts minute or none, or the lower ones leaf -like in the 

 leafy species. Leaves either all radical or distichously 

 spreading on the stem. Stem erect or ascending, some- 

 times woody at base. The species will succeed in an 

 unheated pit or warm border outside, if protected in 

 severe weather. A compost of sandy loam and peat is 

 suited to their requirements. Increased by divisions. 



S. csDSpitosa (tufted), fl. on erect pedicels, lin. to 2in. long,

S. glauoa (glaucous), fl. in a loose cyme, usually leafy at base ; 

 perianth blue, the segments very acute, about iin. long ; pedicels 

 recurved, iin. to lin. long, mostly solitary. June. I. distichous, 

 the sheaths usually concealing the stem, erect or spreading, 

 linear or lanceolate, usually Sin. to 4in., but sometimes 6m. to Sin. 

 long, two to four lines broad. Stems low or ascending, 1ft. to 3ft. 

 high. 1823. (B. M. 3417, under name of S. propinqua.) 



S. umbellata (umbellate). /., perianth segments white or 

 yellowish, about five lines long. June. I., radical ones numerous, 

 5in. to Sin. long, one to two lines broad. Stems Sin. to lOin. high, 

 including the inflorescence, which is often reduced to a single

 nearly allied to S. ccespitosa. 



STYFHELIA (from styphelos, hard ; alluding to 

 the habit of the species). ORD. Epacridece. A genus 

 comprising eleven species of beautiful, greenhouse, ever- 

 green, erect or decumbent shrubs, confined to Australia.
