JUSSIEtlA (the JusMru fiumly r,,„l;iined five 

 botanists, of whom tin' i ,: .lUNhed was 



Antoine Laurent de .In l , i - i '., who laid 



the foundations of a ni"'li m iiiimii -\-tcmof the 

 vegetable kingdom). Alt^u wmu-u Jussutu. Ona- 

 iji-Acefe. About 30 species of tropical plants, largely 

 bog and aquatic herbs and shrubs, one of which 

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

 duces numerous axillary fls. of a bright yellow, 

 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-celled. 

 Jussieuas have alternate Ivs., which are mostly 

 membranous and entire, rarely leathery and ser- 

 rate: fls. yellow or white, solitary, short or long- 

 pedicelled. 



longifblia, DC. Erect, glabrous: stem 3-angled: 

 Ivs. sessile, lanceolate-linear, acuminate at both 

 ng ends, glandular beneath at the margins: pedicels 

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

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

 at the apex: stamens 8. Brazil. w, jj. 



The plant in the trade as J. longifolia is a summer- 

 flowering aquatic herb, and differs somewhat from the 

 description given above. The stems of young seedlings 

 are4-winged, and aspecimen before the writerof a plant 

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

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

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

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

 tender annual. 



The seed may he sown in fall or spring in shallow 

 water, using seed-pans or pots, as with other flower 

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

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

 not submerge until the second day, when the seed will 

 be thoroughly soaked and will not float on the surface of 

 the water. When the plants attain a few leaves they 

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

 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.

JUSTlCIA (James Justice, a Scotch gardener and 

 author of 18th century). AcantMcece. A large and poly- 

 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, 

 under glass for the showy fascicles or heads of fls.
