96 GREEN-HOUSE REPOTTING. [MARCH. 



veokns, sweet-scented, H. conculdta, and H. lamberti, are 

 the best, and afford a curious variety of foliage ; 

 flower in June. Drain the pots well. 



Hemerocdllis, Day Lily. Only H. specibsa of this 

 genus belongs to the Green-house ; the flower is spa- 

 cious, and of copper colour. A native of Jamaica. It 

 has not found its way into our collections. It is herba- 

 ceous, and while growing requires much water, The 

 plant known with us as H. japonica is now Funkia alba, 

 (and justly, for the most superficial observer could 

 have distinguished it as not belonging to Hemerocdllis.) 

 It requires to be much fostered to flower well, and 

 plenty of water. If properly treated, it is a magnificent 

 flower, and continues flowering from July to Septem- 

 ber. We doubt not it may prove a hardy herbaceous 

 plant, (the same as F. cosrulea^) if protected during the 

 first winter, 



Hermdnnias, a genus of about forty species, all na- 

 tives of the Cape of Good Hope, and not worth culti- 

 vating. They have yellow cup-like flowers, and are of 

 the easiest cultivation. Several species are in our col- 

 lections. 



Hibbertias, about ten species. Three of them are 

 very fine climbing evergreen shrubs, viz. H. glossularice- 

 folia; H. dcntdta; H. volubilis, if closely approached 

 has a disagreeable smell; H. fasciculdta, H. saligna, 

 and H. pedunculdta, are evergreen shrubs ; they have 

 pure yellow flowers of five petals, blooming from May 

 to September. 



Habrdnthus, about ten species of small South Ameri- 

 can bulbs, nearly allied to Amaryllis. H. dndersoniL
