JUSSLffiA. See Jussieua. 



JUSSIEUA (the Jussieu family contained fii 

 botanists, of whom the most distinguished wj 

 Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, 1748-1836, who laic 

 the foundations of a modern natural system of th( 

 vegetable kingdom). Also written Jussicea. Ona 

 gracece. About 30 species of tropical plants, largel] 

 bog and aquatic herbs and shrubs, one of whic 

 is cult, in America. It grows 2-3 ft. high, and pr 

 duces numerous axillary fls. of a bright yello\ 

 somewhat like an evening primrose. It is little 

 cult., but desirable for planting at the edge of a 

 pond of tender aquatics or for tub culture. Jus- 

 sieua is allied to Ludwigia, and distinguished by 

 the following characters: petals 4-6, not clawed, 

 entire or 2-lobed: stamens 8-12: ovary 4-cell( 

 Jussieuas have alternate Ivs., which are mostl 

 membranous and entire, rarely leathery and sei 

 rate: fls. yellow or white, solitary, short or lonj 

 pedicelled". 



longifdlia, DC. Erect, glabrous: stem 3-anglec 

 Ivs. sessile, lanceolate-linear, acuminate at bot 

 ends, glandular beneath at the margins: pedicel 

 1-fld., longer than the ovary, and bearing 2 bract 

 lets at the apex : petals 4, obovate, scarcely notcht 

 at the apex:' stamens 8. Brazil. w. M. 



The plant in the trade as J. longifolia is a summ 

 flowering aquatic herb, and differs somewhat from tl 

 description given above. The stems of young seedlinj 

 are4-winged, and a specimen before the writer of a ph 

 of the previous season is 5-winged. The main root 

 these old plants may be tuber-like, 3 in. long, % in. thi( 

 or 8-10 in. long and more slender. Also the lower Ivs 

 at least, are opposite. J. longifolia is best treated as 

 tender annual. 



The seed may be sown in fall or spring in shalU 

 water, using seed-pans or pots, as with other Qo\ 

 seeds. Cover the seed, which is very fine, with finel 

 sifted soil, place the pot or seed-pan in water, but 

 not submerge until the second day, when the seed wi 

 be thoroughly soaked and will not float on the surface < 

 the water. When the plants attain a few leaves th< 

 should be potted, singly, into thumb-pots, and later int 

 3-in. pots, and from these planted into their summer 

 quarters. It is not absolutely necessary to keep these 

 plants always submerged in water after potting. The 

 plants will do well on a bench, which should be covered 

 with sand or ashes and the plants kept well watered.,

 morphous genus (perhaps 100 species) in the warm parts 

 of the Old and New World. They are mostly herbs of 

 various habits, with opposite entire Ivs., and are cult,
