Phaedranassa, including Leperiza (Queen Lily). Amaryllidece. 



Propagated by seeds and bulbels. 

 Phaius. Or chide ce. 



Division of the bulbs. (See also under Orchids.) 



Phalaenopsis. Orchidece. 



These are very slow and difficult to propagate. In the 

 majority of the species it can only be done where a lateral 

 offshoot is made from the main stem. Some species, such as 

 P. Luddemanniana, and more rarely P. amabilis, P. Stuartianq 

 and P. Schilleriana, develop plantlets on the old flower 

 scapes. By pegging these down on a basket of moss they 

 may be established and afterwards separated. P. Stuartiana 

 and P. deliciosa have been known to produce plants on the 

 roots. Other instances of root-proliferation are recorded in 

 Saccolabium micranthum and a species of cyrtopodium. (See 

 under Orchids.) 



Phalaris. Graminece. 



Propagated by seeds, but the sports by divisions. 



Phaleria, Drimyspermum. Thymeleacece. 



Increased by seeds sown in heat in spring ; or by cuttings 

 of the young shoots, which should be inserted in bottom 

 heat. 



Pharbitis. See Ipomo3a. 



Phaseolus (Bean, Kidney, Pole, String; French Bean, etc.), 



Leguminosce. . 



The ornamental greenhouse kinds are grown from seeds 

 planted in light soil in a warm propagating house. See Bean, 



Phebalium. Rutacece. 



May be increased by cuttings of the young wood, under a 

 glass. 



Phellodendron (Cork Tree) . Rutacece. 



Increased by seeds, layers and by root cuttings. 



Philadelphia (Mock Orange, Syringa). Saxifragece. 



Seeds, layers, suckers and cuttings. Layers are most 

 used. Cuttings of mature wood are sometimes employed. 

 Some well-marked varieties, like vars. nana and aurea of P. 

 coronarius, are grown from cuttings of soft wood in summer 

 in frames.
