HABKOTHA'MNUS. (From halros, gay, 

 nd thamnos, a shrub. Nat. ord., Night- 

 shades [Solanacese]. Linn., 5-Pentan- 

 dria \-Monogynia. Allied to Cestrium.) 



Greenhouse evergreen shrubs, from Mexico. 

 H.fascicula'tus grown against a conservatory 

 wall, on an east or west aspect, is not surpassed 

 by any in the Mexican flora. The sun is too pow- 

 erful for the flowers on a south aspect ; it flowers 

 on last year's wood, and should not be pruned till 

 after the flowers fade. They may be grown as 

 specimens, or against pillars. Cuttings of firm 

 side-shoots, taken off when the plant is growing, 

 in sand, under a bell-glass, and placed in a mild 

 bottom-heat ; loam and peat, lightened with sand 

 and charcoal. Winter temp., 40 to' 48.

 dria 1-Monogynia.) 



Bulbs from the Cape of Good Hope, except 

 where otherwise mentioned. Chiefly valued for 

 their leaves, and the markings on the flower-scape. 

 Except multiflo'rus they will all live in a border, 

 with a glass covering in winter, protected from 

 frost. Under such treatment they rest in summer, 

 and grow in winter. Offsets ; sandy loam, fibry 

 peat, and a little dried cow-dung.
