HABROTHA'MNUS. (From habros, gay, 

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

 shades [Solanacese]. Linn., b-Penlan- 

 dria 1-Monogynia. Allied to Cestrium.) 



Greenhouse evergreen shrubs from Mexico. 

 H. fasciculatus grown against a conservatory 

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

 by any in the Mexican flora. The sun is too 

 powerful 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. Cut- 

 tings 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.

HJEMA'NTHTJS. Blood Flower. (From

 6 -Hexandrla 1 -Monogynia. )

 where otherwise mentioned. Chiefly valued for 

 their leaves, and the markings on the flower
