EHIZO'PHORA. Mangrove. (From rhiza, 

 a root, and phoreo, to bear; the branches 

 send down roots like the Banyan-tree. 

 Nat. ord., Mangroves [Ehizophoraeese]. 

 Linn., \\-Dodecandria l-Monogynia.) 



Not likely to be much cultivated until we ob- 

 tain salt-water aquariums in our large tropical 

 houses. The Mangrove nourishes in rich, loamy 

 soil, in thickets, by the side of the ocean, in tro- 

 pical latitudes, and possesses the striking feature 

 that the seeds vegetate while attached to the 

 plant, and send out a long radicle, which gene- 

 rally reaches the soft mud, while the top puts out 

 leaves; numbers of plants are thus joined to- 

 gether, something in the same way as the Banyan- 

 tree.

 use dried, rotten cow-dung and silver sand freely.
