lUiciums, Aniseed-tree, three species. /. floriddnum, 

 has very sweet-scented, double purple flowers, and the 

 plant grows freely and systematically if properly treated, 

 and deserves the attention of the admirers of flowers. 

 /. parviflbrum has small yellow flowers ; /. anisatum is so

 with leaves very much divided, and cone-like flowers 

 at the extremity of the shoots. Lformbsus, I. anemoni-

 flowers are straw, lilac, white, and yellow coloured ;

 and are very easily cultivated. /. Mhatoda has good
