DOLICHOS. 



A large but horticulturally unimportant genus 

 (ord. Leguminosse). Some of its members are 

 shrubs, others trees, and some are herbs. Most of 

 them have twining stems. Propagation, by seeds 

 and by cuttings in brisk heat for the stove forms ; 

 in a cool frame for the half-hardy species. 



Principal Species : 



Lablab, 1', Jy., grh., ro. pur. (sym. lignosus, pur- 

 piirens, and Lablab vulgaris).

DOMBEYA. 



Stove evergreen trees and shrubs (ord. Stercn- 

 liaceac), propagated by cuttings of firm shoot 4 in 

 sand in bottom heat in spring. They like a 

 compost of two-thirds of loam and one-third of 

 peat, with sand. Astrapsea and Ossonia are in- 

 cluded by botanists in this genus, which it seems 

 probable may give rise to a race of showy garden 



(see Marfaili/cnn).
