IL^MARIA (Greek, referring to the blood-red under 

 Btirface of the leaves). Orchidacese. Terrestrial orchids, 

 known to the trade chiefly as Goodyera. They are 

 really dwarf stove foliage plants, and are to be culti- 

 vated like Ana'ctochilus. 



In Hajmaria the lower hp is swelled above its base 

 into a wide claw and is provided with a pouch-like sac 

 at base, and a blade of 2 divergent lobes; in Goodyera 

 the blade of the lip is small and not clawed. Both 

 genera belong to a large group in which the hp either 

 has no spur or sac, or if the latter is present, it is 

 included between the sepals; while in Ancectochilus the 

 hp has a prominent sac or spur projecting between the 

 lateral sepals. — Four species, in China and Malaya. 



The leaves of H. discolor are green above and red 

 below. It is, however, not nearly so briUiant as 

 Hsemaria Dawsoniana, which has the same red color 

 beneath, and is beautifully netted above with red or 

 yellow. In both species a dozen or more small flowers, 

 chiefly white, are borne on a densely hairy scape. 

 These plants seem much easier to cultivate than 

 ancectochilus and can be grown in large, shallow pans, 

 with the rhizomes creeping in sphagnum.

HSMATOXYLON (from the Greek for blood and 

 wood, in reference to the color of the latter). Legu- 

 minbsce. Two or 3 species of trees from Mex., Cent. 

 Amer. and W. Indies, of which the most important, 

 H. campechianum, Linn., furnishes the logwood of com- 

 merce. It is a medium-sized tree, reaching 30-45 ft., 

 with a short crooked trunk: lvs. abruptly pinnate; Ifts. 

 obversely egg-shaped: fls. smaU, yellow, in axillary 

 racemes; petals 5, oblong, expanding; stamens free, 

 rather upright, with filaments hairy at base; ovary 

 short-stiped, free, with 2-3 seeds: pod lanceolate, 

 flattened, dehiscing along the median valve in 2 

 boat -shaped pseudo- valves. — The wood is very 

 hard and heavy, the heart-wood, from which the sap- 



wood has been removed, being used for making the 

 dye. The wood takes on a beautiful brownish red color 

 on exposure to the air. This tree is known as Cam- 

 peachy wood, logwood, and in Porto Rico as Palo de 

 Campeche. L. H. B. 



HiEMODORUM (blood-gift, a fanciful name). 

 Hainodordcese, which is closely alhed to AmarylUdaceae. 

 Nearly 20 Australian perennial herbs, with sheathing 

 equitant lvs. and different colors of fls. in heads, cymes 

 or spikes, a few of which have 

 been mentioned abroad as 

 greenhouse subjects. Plant with 

 a thickened bulb-like base: 

 perianth persistent, with 6 deep 

 segms.; stamens 3, attached at 

 the base of the inner segms.; 

 ovary nearly or quite inferior, 

 but the caps, becoming nearly 

 or half superior. They are erect 

 plants with fls. black, red, pur- 

 phsh, yellow, or livid green, 

 usually fragrant. Prop, by divi- 

 sion. //. leretifblium, R. Br. 

 St. 2-3 ft.: lvs. very long and 

 slender, terete or nearly so : fls. 

 very numerous in a rather dense 

 or compact panicle, greenish 

 purple. H. planifdlium, R. Br. 

 St. 2-3 ft., scarcely branching 

 below: lower lvs. flat and grass- 

 like, to }4in. broad: fls. many, 

 in a compact panicle, greenish 

 purple. L. H. B. 



HAIRBELL. or HAREBELL: Cam- 

 panula rotundifolia. 



1779. Hzemaria discolor. ( X H) 



HAKEA (after Baron von Hake, a German friend of 

 botany). Proteaces-. Australian evergreen shrubs 

 cultivated indoors abroad, much used for ornamental 

 planting in the open in California. 



The fohage of the various species of Hakea is exceed- 

 ingly diverse; in some the lvs. are flat and broad, and 

 then entire or merely toothed, in others they are 

 terete, and then either simple and entire or pinnately 

 parted: fls. in pairs, the pairs commonly crowded in 

 close racemes or globose clusters, these mostly sessile 

 in the If .-axils; corolla-tube slender, usually recurved 

 beneath the limb, which is mostly globose, the 4 lobes 

 cohering long after the tube has opened ; lobes concave 

 and bear sessile anthers; the single style either long or 

 short but always dilated at the end: fr. a hard woody 

 caps, opening in 2 valves and bearing 2 compressed 

 winged seeds. — Ninety-five species are fully described 

 in English, with a key in Flora Ausfraliensis 5:489 

 (1870). Eleven species grown in Calif, are described 

 and discussed, with a key and 8 illustrations m Univ. 

 Calif. Pub. Botany 4:14-20 (1910).
