IPUHO'PSIS. (From ipo t to strike for- 

 cibly, and opsis, sight. Nat. ord., Phlox* 

 worts [Polemoniacese]. Linn., 5-Pcntan- 

 dria 1-Monogynia. Allied to Navarretia.) 



A beautiful hardy plant, once known as Gi'lia 

 pulche'lla. Must be treated as a biennial; it is 

 most impatient of wet, and yet it must not be al- 

 lowed to get dry ; sow in beginning of August, and 

 if sown thinly round the edges of a pot, it will be 

 better than having to transplant the seedlings, as 

 they are touchy things to shift as well as to water. 

 For a six-inch pot, three or four plants may be 

 left; but it is best not to thin too much until 

 spring, for fear of winter deaths. The greatest 

 care is necessary during winter to keep the plants 

 in an airy situation in a cool greenhouse, as the 

 least extra moisture, either near the neck of the 

 plant, or from drip, will send it off. Soil, fibry 

 loam and turfy peat, with pieces of charcoal and 

 broken potsherds, so as to make the soil open, 

 covering it with finer material on the top, to pre- 

 vent drying too rapidly. If thus attended to, the 

 plants will bloom at Midsummer, or earlier ; but, 

 generally, all the better if not till within ten 

 months of the seed being sown. 

 I. e'legans (elegant). Scarlet. July. N. Amer. 1820. 



I'PSEA. (Not explained. Nat. ord., Or- 

 chids [Orchidaceee]. Linn., 20-Gynandria 

 1-Monandria. Allied to Paxtonia.) 



Stove orchid. Rough peat and a little fibry 

 loam. Summer temp., 60 to 90 ; winter, 55. 

 J. specio'sa (showy). May. Ceylon. 1840. 



IEESI'NE. ( From eiros, wool; referring 

 to the woolly aspect of the branches. 

 Nat. ord., Amaranths [Amaxanthacese]. 

 Linn., 22-Z>io?cia 8-Pentandria. Allied to 

 Gomphrena.) 



Half-hardy, herbaceous, white-flowered peren- 

 nials. Division in spring, and by saving and sow- 

 ing the seeds in a gentle hotbed ; nandy loam, 

 leaf-mould, and a little peat. If saved over, must 

 be protected in a cold pit or frame during the 

 winter.
