SCHOTIA (Richard Schot, companion of Jacquin dur- 

 ing his travels in America, 1754-59). Legwmindsm. A 

 genus of 3 species of small trees or shrubs, native to 

 S. Africa, with pinnate leaves and panicles of hand- 

 some crimson, pink or flesh-colored flowers. Calyx 4- 

 lobed ; petals 5, nearly sessile, either ovute to oblong or

 nate: pod oblong or broadly linear, coriaceous, com- 

 pressed, the upper margin or both margins wingea:

B. Petals longer than the calyx.

Ivs. variable in form, which fact has led to much 

 separation of this species into varieties and species: 

 Ifts. 8-.32, linear, oblong, or obovate: fls. crimson, in 

 terminal panicles. B.M. 1153 (as S. tamarindifoUa).

SCHUBfiKTlA is a subgenus of Araujia, but in this 

 work it is accounted for under Physianthua. 



SCIAD6PITYS (Greek, sltias, skiados, umbrella, and 

 pitys, spruce; alluding to the position of the leaves). 

 Coniferm. Umbrella Pine. Evergreen tree, of narrow 



species is hardy as far north as Portland, Me., and is 

 a beautiful conifer of compact, conical form, with 

 glossy dark green foli- 

 age. It is of rather slow 

 growth. It thrives well 

 in a moderately moist, 

 loamy, and also in clayey 

 soil. Prop, by seeds and 

 layers, and sparingly by 

 cuttings of half -ripened 

 wood in summer ; but 

 seedlings are to be pre- 

 ferred, as they grow 

 more symmetrically and 

 more vigorously. Monotypic genus from Japan. Lvs. 

 linear, deeply furrowed on both sides, disposed in 

 whorls at the ends of the short annual shoots ; they 

 are of two kinds: the true lvs. are small and bract-
