Cult. The species of Buddlea are all showy when in blos- 

 som ; they are, therefore, worth cultivating for ornament. The 

 B. globosa and B. salvifolia are the only species ascertained to 

 be almost hardy ; they requiring only a little protection in severe 

 frosts. A light rich soil answers them best ; and cuttings of all 

 strike root readily in mould, under a hand-glass ; those of the 

 stove species in heat. All the species are abundant flowerers ; 

 and the flowers of all are sweet-scented. 



Tribe VIII. 



CALCEOLARIE'^E. Calyx 4-parted, valvate in aestivation. 

 Corolla irregular, bilabiate. Stamens 2-4, inserted in the throat. 

 Cells of anthers diverging at the base, and confluent at apex. 

 Stigma undivided, capitate. Capsule membranous ; dissepi- 

 ment constituted from the inflexed margins of the valves ; pla- 

 centas 2, stipitate, or adnate to the dissepiment. Seeds minute, 

 with a mucrone-formed umbilicus ; testa membranous. Albu- 

 men fleshy. Embryo terete, about half the length of the albu- 

 men. Herbs or subshrubs, natives of South America and the 

 Cape of Good Hope, usually clothed with glandular pubescence. 

 Leaves opposite, generally undivided, but sometimes pinnate and 

 pinnatifid. Flowers terminal, usually corymbosely panicled or 

 racemose, generally yellow, rarely purple. This very natural 

 tribe forms an osculant group between the Scrophularinece and 

 the Gesneriacece, in the aestivation of the calyx being valvate ; 

 in the valves of the capsule being revolute and placentiferous ; 

 in the very minute seeds, furnished with a longer umbilical 

 funicle ; in habit, inflorescence, and opposite, usually wrinkled, 

 crenated leaves, and albuminous seeds. The Calceolaria petio-
