AlthJsa, Linn. Derived from atthm, to cure ; 

 from the medicinal qualities of some of the 

 species. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Malvaceae.

 annual kinds should be sown in the open 

 border in spring, and transplanted when suffi- 

 ciently strong. The herbaceous kinds may be 

 increased by dividing the roots, or by seeds. 

 A. rbsea, the parent of the many beautiful 

 varieties of Hollyhock, yields a blue colouring 

 matter equal to indigo. Synonymes : 1, A.

AurfNGiA, Nororiha. Named in memory of 

 Alting, a worthy. German botanist. Linn. 22, 

 Or. 13, Nat. Or. PinAce.ce. These handsome 

 growing trees attain a great magnitude and 

 height, especially A. excilsa, which averages 

 one hundred feet ; they prefer deep loamy 

 soil ; and young plants may with care be 

 struck from portions of the fully-ripened wood 

 taken off at the joints, and planted in a 

 pot of sand, under a glass, but not plunged or 

 exposed to the sun. Seeds, when such can be 

 obtained, produce the best plants. Syno- 

 nyme : 1, Araucctria excilsa.
