ACACIA PUBESCEXM. 



AC^ENA. 



Trailing plants (pril. Rosacese) suitable for rock- 

 work or carpeting ; leaves finely divided and fre- 

 quently beautifully tinted. Flowers in summer; 

 mostly in globular inconspicuous heads. About 

 thirty species known ; those named are hardy in 

 most gardens. Propagated by division and cuttings 

 in autumn or spring; also by seeds in spring. 

 Almost any soil will do ; moist and peaty 

 preferred. 



Principal Species : 



argentea, 1" to ','>", foliage bronzy, flowers 

 greenish. 



microphylla, 1" to 2", foliage bronzy grn., flowers 

 witli bright crim. spines. Perhaps the best. 



myriophylla, 5" to 10", Fern-like leaves, flowers 

 greenish. 



Other Species : - 



adsceudens, 3". ovahfolia, 9". 



Buchanani, 2", pea gra. Sanguisorba?, 4". 



leaves. 



ACALYPHA. 



Stove ornamental foliage plants (oriT. Enphor- 

 biacesn). About 100 species, of easy culture. 

 Indica has laxative properties. Increased by 

 cuttings of points of the shoots, inserted in a close 

 frame in a brisk heat at any time. Equal parts of 

 loam and leaf soil, with sand, are suitable. The 

 most useful specimens are those with single stems. 

 Continual propagation is necessary to keep up a 

 stock of these. Ijeggy old plants are of little use. 

 Plenty of water is needed at all times, with liquid 

 manure in summer. Thrips (ice Til HI PS) is the 

 chief enemr.
