 house of Brunswick. Nat. ord., Amaryl- 

 lids (Amaryllidacese). Linn., Q-Hexan-

 well marked section of Amaryllis itself, 

 when divested of " the mass of discor- 

 dant plants accumulated under that 

 name." Herbert. Half-hardy hulbs, 

 from the Cape of Good Hope. Offsets ; 

 loam and fibiy peat ; either in green- 

 house or in a warm situation out of 

 doors, where the bulbs being planted 

 deep, are secure from frost and from wet 

 by coverings, such as glazed sashes, or 

 tarpauling ; or the bulbs may be taken 

 up at the approach of winter and stored.

BUD. The buds are organized parts 

 of a plant, of an oval, round, or conical 

 form, and containing the rudiments of 

 future branches, leaves, and flowers, 

 which remain without breaking, on pro- 

 ducing them, until circumstances favour 

 their development. The same buds, ac- 

 cordingly, as circumstances vary, pro- 

 duce either flowers or leaves. Buds 

 spring from the alburnum, to which 

 they arc always connected by central 

 vessels. Buds are formed at first only 

 in the axils of leaves, that is, in the . 

 angle between the leaf and the branch ; 

 but, if these buds are destroyed, what 

 are termed adventitious or latent buds
