VITTADINIA. 



A genus of about fourteen species of greenhouse 

 or h:inly perennial herbs or sub-shrubs (ord. Com- 

 posite), allied to Erigeron. Few, if any, are in 

 cultivation. Triloba of gardens is Erigeron mu- 

 cronatus, which #ei>. The Vittadinias are propa- 

 gated by seeds or cuttings, and like a sandy soil. 



VITTARIA. 



A genus of stove Ferns (ord. Filices), with Grass- 

 like fronds and the brown sori or spore cases in 

 continuous lines at or near the margins. (See 

 b'Klixs for cultivation.) 



Principal Species : 

 elongata. fronds fi" to 18" 



long, J" to J" broad, 



sori sunk in a groove 



(\v/*.v. ensit'onnis and 



zosteriefolia). 

 lineata, fronds 6" to 18" 

 58 



long, $" to J" broad, 

 narrowing to the base, 

 sori in a shallow furrow, 

 (.^///.Taeniopsis lineata). 

 Florida Bibbon Fern, 

 scolopendrina, fronds 1 ' 



stipitata, fronds 1J' to 2' 

 long, $" to J" broad, 

 tapering to the base, 

 sori in a groove inside 

 the margin ("!/ 

 Tamiopsis stipitata). 



to I. 1 .' long, J" to |" 

 broad, pointed, base 

 gradually narrowing, 

 sori in broad, sub- 

 marginal lines (fiftt. 

 Tirniopsis scolopen- 

 driua). 



VIVIANIA. 



A small genus of stove or greenhouse shrubs, 

 herbs, or sub-shrubs (ord. Geraniacere), scarcely, if 

 at all, cultivated at present. Propagated by cut- 

 tings of young growths in sand under a glass. Soil, 

 loam, peat, and a little sand. 



Principal Species : 



grandifolia, 1' to 2', Jy., 

 grh., wh. or red. 



parvifolia, 1' to 2', Jy., 

 grh., ro. 



VOANDZEIA (syns. CRYPTOLOBUS and 

 GBOLOBUS. BOMBARBA GBOUXD NUT, 

 UNDERGROUND BEAN). 



An interesting stove herb (ord. Leguminosa;), 

 with a hypogosous habit, i.e. the flower stems bend 

 after flowering so as to insert the seed pods in 

 the soil to ripen. Propagated by seeds. Common 

 soil. 



Only Species : 



subterranea, 3", Jy., pale yel. 



VOCHISIA. (Also spelled VoCHVSlA.) 



A genus of stove trees or shrubs (ord. Vochysi- 

 acese), with scented flowers in panicles or racemes. 

 The only ones known to cultivation are the under- 

 named, which are propagated by cuttings of 

 ripened wood in heat under a bell-glass in a very 

 sandy soil. Soil, loam and peat. 



Only Cultivated Species : 



ferrugiuea, 2.V, Aug., yel. guianensis, 12' or more, 

 (xi/n. tomeutosa). Aug., yel. Copai-yi'- 



wood. 



VOYRIA (syn. VOYRA). 



A genus of dwarf, leafless, stove herbaceous 

 perennials (prd. Gentianese), propagated by seeds 

 and divisions in spring. Soil, sandy loam with a 

 large proportion of leaf soil or peat. The following 

 are probably not now in cultivation. 



Principal Species : 



aphylla, Je., yel. (syn. carulea, Je., bl. 

 uniflora). rosea, Jy., red. 



WACHENDORFIA (*yn. PEDILONIA). 



A small genus (ord. Ifemodoraceoe) of greenhouse 

 or nearly hardy perennial herbs, with tuberous 

 roots. Propagation is by seeds and offsets. Soil, 

 sandy loam three parts and peat one part. Wach- 

 endorlias do best if planted out in prepared beds in 

 pits and frames. When the plants are at rest 

 practically no water is needed, for if water be given 

 the roots may rot. 



Principal Species and Variety : 



paniculate, 11', Ap., grh., 



golden yel., Ivs. sword 

 shaped, three nerved. 

 pallida, paler yel. 



thyrsiflora, 2', My., grh., 

 yel. in spikes, Ivs. 

 sword shaped, fiva 

 nerved.
