92 GREEN-HOUSEREPOTTING, 



cultivation in the Green-house ; flowers syngenesibus, 

 white, and in large flattened panicles; very sweet-scent- 

 ed. The plant, when growing freely, in the beginning 

 of summer, should be topped, which would make it 

 more bushy; if not, it is apt to grow straggling. Known 

 as E. clegdns, in our collections. 



Eutdxicfs, two species. E. myrtifblia is a most beau- 

 tiful free-flowering evergreen shrub ; foliage small, but 

 very neat ; flowers leguminose, small, and very many ; 

 colour yellow and red; grows freely. The young plants 

 should be frequently topped, or they will grow naked and 

 unsightly. E. pungens, similar to the other except in 

 foliage. They flower from March to June, and ought 

 to have a place in every Green-house. Culture very 

 easy. 



Euchllus obcorddtus is the only species: Flowers simi- 

 lar to Eutdxia; foliage almost unique, being inverse, 

 cordate ; time of flowering from March to June. 



Fuchsias, Ladies' ear drop. About twelve species. 

 Several of them elegant and handsome shrubs. F. mr- 

 gdta and F. cbnica are the most splendid of deciduous 

 Green-house shrubs; the nerves of the leaves and young 

 wood of the former are tinged with purplish red ; the 

 large pendant flowers which are produced from the 

 axils of the leaves of the young wood continue during 

 the growing season. F. cbnica grows strong, foliage 

 green, flowers pendant, corolla more spreading than 

 the other, and when in flower is a complete mass of 

 scarlet blossoms. It flowers all summer. F. coccinea is 

 a common and celebrated plant, and deservedly so. F.
