 Achimenes, P. Browne. A word of unknown 

 meaning. Linn, li, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Gesne- 

 rdceos. The above name was originally given 

 to two species by Dr. Patrick Browne in his 

 Histoiy of Jamaica, one of which has been 

 long known in our gardens as Trevirana cocci- 

 nea, or Cyrilla pulchilla ; the original name 

 has been restored by De Candolle iu his Pro- 

 dromus. The recent acquisitions to this ele- 

 gant and free-flowering genus, rank amongst 

 the most beautiful of our conservatory plants. 

 For cultivation see Trevirana : they are propa- 

 gated by cuttings, or by the imbricated buds 

 which they produce underground and on the 

 stems. Synonymes: 1, Trevirana coc&nea, 

 Cyrilla pulcMlla; 2, A. heterophfilla, ignis- 

 eens, Trevirana helerophfilla ; 3, Acisunthera 

 atrosanguinea, Cheirdnthera atrosanguinea.

Garden Byorids.—Tho hybrids are very nu- 

 merous, and some exceedingly beautiful. 

 Amongst these may be mentioned Adonis, 

 amabilis, Aurora, elegans, Escheriana, Estella, 

 gigantea, ignea, magnified, Mazeppa, and 

 Roezlia. 

 Achlys, Decandolle. From oxhlys, meaning 

 obscure, in allusion to the obscurity of the 

 genus. Linn. 13, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Berberidiicece. 

 A tuberous-rooted plant, of little beauty, mul- 

 tiplied by cuttings, and grown in Sandy loam, 

 triphylla . . Wht. 5, H. Tu. P. 24 K Amer. . 1827 

 Achnanthes, Agardh. Derived from achne, 

 froth of the ocean, and anthos, flower. Linn. 

 24, Or. 7, Nat. Or. Diatomacem. Curious 

 aquatic productions, said to separate by de- 

 grees into fragments : between every articu- 

 lation or joint is one or more crystalline 

 points — brevipes, Idngipes, unipunctata, 

 Achnod<5nton, Palisot de Beawvois. From 

 achne, a . chaff, or husk, and odon, a tooth. 

 Linn. 3, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Graminacem. Very 

 insignificant plants, of the easiest culture, in- 

 creased by division and seeds. Synonyme : 1, 

 Phalaris Bellardi. Bellardi 1, te"nue. 

 AcHBAS, Linn. The Greek name for the pear, 

 or from ac, meaning a point, in Celtic, in 

 allusion to the stiff spines with which the tree 

 is covered. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Sapota- 

 cece. These plants, in this country, possess 

 little merit, but in the West Indies the fruit 

 produced by some of the species is much es- 

 teemed. A . sapdta yields a fruit as large as a 

 quince, the flesh of which is as yellow as a 

 carrot ; it has an agreeable smell, and very 

 rich taste ; the seeds, two in number, are ape- 

 rient and diuretic ; rich loamy soil ; cuttings. 

 See Bivmilia, Lue&ma, and MimHsops.

 nature of the floral leaves. Linn. 5, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Amarantacece. Uninteresting plants, 

 of easy culture. A. pdrrigens is the most hand- 

 some species. See Chamissda, ChlaMstachys, 

 and Besmocliceta.
