DROSERA. From droseros, dewy ; the plants 

 are beset with glandular hairs, which make 

 them appear as if covered with dew. Linn. 5, 

 Or. 5, Nat. Or. Droser&ceoz. This is a most 

 singular and beautiful genus of plants, whose 

 leaves are ornamented with red glandular 

 hairs, discharging from their ends a drop of 

 viscid acrid juice. These hairs are so irritable 

 as to contract when touched, imprisoning in- 

 sects, after the manner of Dioncka Musclpula. 

 In their native state, they are found growing 

 on mossy turfy bogs. The best way to grow 

 them, is to plant them in small pots, about 

 three parts full of peat earth, and some sphag- 

 num placed on it ; the plants should then be 

 planted in the moss, and the pots placed in 

 pans of water, and oven then, the hardy species 

 grow best in the greenhouse. They aro all in- 

 creased by seeds, which should be allowed to 

 sow themselves. Synonyme : 1, D. interm&dia.

Droserack2E, or Sundews. An order of small 

 herbaceous plants, all growing in damp places ; 

 many are covered with glandular hairs, which 

 possess considerable irritability. 



Drumm6ndia, De Candolk. Named after Mr. 

 Thomas Drummond, a well-known naturalist, 

 and zealous collector of plants, chiefly in the 

 United States ; he died at Havannah, in March, 

 1835. Linn. 5, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Saxifrag&cece. 

 This is a very pretty little plant, well adapted 

 for the front of flower-borders, or to grow on 

 rock- work. It thrives most luxuriantly in peat, 

 though it succeeds in any light soil ; divisions.

DrupAceje, or Almond- worts. An order of 

 trees and shrubs separated from Rosacea, on 

 account of bearing what is usually known as 

 stone-fruit — the cherry, plum, peach, and 

 other similar fruits belong to this order. 



Drupe,' a kind of fruit, consisting of a fleshy, suc- 

 culent rind, and containing a hard stone in 

 the middle. See Drupacece. 



DRUSA, De Candolle. In honour of M. Le Dru, 

 a French botanist and traveller. Linn. 5, Or. 

 2, Nat. Or. Apidcece. A hardy annual, the 

 seeds of which merely require sowing in a. 

 warm situation — oppositifilia. 



DrtANDRA, R. Brown. In honour of Jonas 

 Dryander, a distinguished Swedish botanist. 

 Linn. 4, Or. 1, Nat Or. Proteaccm. A splendid 

 genus of plants, nearly related to B&nksia. 

 All the species thrive well in an equal mixture 

 of turfy loam, peat, and sand. The pots re- 

 quire to be well drained, and the potsherds 

 broken very small, because the roots are fond 

 of running among them. Cuttings taken off 



at a joint, in August or September, and planted 

 in sand, without shortening the leaves, will 

 readily root if placed on a gentle hotbed (but 

 not plunged), under a glass ; but they must be 

 covered, so as the frost cannot injure them. 

 As soon as rooted they must be potted off, as 

 the sand would injure the roots if they were 

 too long in it ; after being potted off, they 

 should be placed iu a close frame, and har- 

 dened to the air by degrees. The cuttings will 

 do equally well if put in early in spring, just 

 as they are beginning to push out young wood.
