PHALARIS. 



Annual or perennial greenhouse or hardy Grasses 

 (ord. Graminese) of easy culture. Propagation is 

 by seeds, and by division of the root in spring for 

 the perennials. Ordinary garden soil. 



Principal Species and Varieties : - 

 arimdinacea, 3' to 5', ,Ty., dener's Garter, Lady's 



hdy. per. (si/n. Digraphis Garter, Ribbon Grass. 



arundinacea). gigantea, taller. 



variegata, Ivs. striped canariensis, U', Jy.,hdy. 



wh., very pretty. Gar- ami. Canary Grass. 



PHALERIA. 



Stove and greenhouse trees and shrubs (ord. 

 ThymelsBacesc), very few of which are cultivated. 

 Propagated by seeds sown on a hotbed, in 

 spring, or by cuttings of the young shoots in brisk 

 bottom heat. Soil, Hbrous loam and peat in equal 

 parts, with ^and. 



Principal Species : 

 ambigua. My., cl., wh. or laurifolia, C', st., wh., 



flushed yel., fragrant. Daphne-like odour. 



PHARNACKUM (syn. GIXGIXSIA). 



Annual or perennial herbs (ord. Ficoiderc) of 

 low habit. The flowers are green or purple, and 

 unattractive. Propagated by cuttings. Soil, sandy 

 loam and peat in equal parts. 



Principal Species :-- 

 incanum, 6", Oct., grh. liueare.My., Je., shrubby, 



shrub, wh., grn. prostrate, red. 



PHARUS. 



Stove Grasses (ord. Graminefe). Only the 

 variegated form of latifolius appeals much to 

 srardeners. Treat like stove Bamboos. 



Principal Species : 

 latifolius, U' to 3', Jy., - vittatus, handsomely 



st., Ivs. 6' r to 8" long, banded wh. upon gru. 



I. 1 ," to 2" broad. (syn. vittatus). 



PHASEOLUS. 



Vulgaris (ord. Legumlnosse), the Dwarf French 

 Bean, is a well-known vegetable, and multillonis, 

 the Scarlet Runner, is even more noteworthy. (For 

 culture, see BEANS, DWAKP FRENCH, and RUNNER.) 

 For the stove species, seeds and cuttings for the 

 perennials, seeds alone for the annuals, will serve. 

 Soil, loam two-thirds, leaf mould one-third, and 

 sand. 



Principal Species and Varieties : 

 multiflorus, Je., Sep., twi- vulgaris, Je., Sep., ann., 



ner, per., wh., se. Scar- wh.,lil. Dwarf French

PHAYLOPSIS (*yns. JSTHEILEMA, and 



MlCHANTHTJS OF WENDLAND). 



About a dozen species of stove or greenhouse 

 shrubs (ord. Acanthacefe), allied to Daxlalacanthus, 

 but of no cultural value. Parviflora (syn. longifoha 

 of Sims) has been introduced, but it is never met 

 with now. 



PHEASANT'S EYE (see NARCISSUS 



POETICUS). 



PHEBALIUM. 



Greenhouse shrubs or dwarf trees (ord. Rutaceas),- 

 chiefly South Australian. Propagated by cuttings, 

 of the young shoots, in sand, under a bell-glass. 

 Soil, three parts sandy peat and one part loam. 



Phalangium (sec Chloroi/almnmid Paradtsia). 



Phalocallis (sec Ci/pella). 



Pharbitis (see Ipomcca). 



PJiarium (see Jicssera). 



Pheasant's Eye Adonis (see Adonis}.
