allowed to decay on the plant, they will soon become 

 musty, and all their colour fade. 



Gompholbbiums, a genus of very pretty delicate plants, 

 all papilionaceous; flowers generally yellow with a 

 little red; foliage very variable. G. barbigerum, G. poll- 

 morfum, G. latifolium, G. grandiflbrum, and G. venustum, 

 are fine, the pots must be well drained, and care taken 

 that they are not over watered ; they grow freely. 



Genistas: a few of these are very pretty free flowering

 G. umbelldta, are the finest Green-house species. All 

 of them have yellow leguminose flowers in great abun-

 or axillary flowers, and flower during summer. 



Gort&ria persondta is the only species that belongs to
