Glori6sa, Linn. Derived from gloriosus, glo- 

 rious ; because of the magnificent flowers. 

 Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Liliaceoe. This is a 

 truly handsome and curious genus of plants, 

 well worthy of cultivation in every collection 

 of stove plants. The following method of 

 treatment is given by the late Mr. Sweet : — 

 " "We have found them succeed best, and flower 

 luxuriantly, by being planted in rather more 

 than one-third turfy loam, full one-third white 

 sand, and the remainder peat ; as soon as 

 planted, to be set in a hotbed frame till they 

 Slave begun to grow ; then move them to a 

 warm part of the hothouse, and as they grow, 

 train them up a stick or wire, where they will 

 flower, and if a little pains be taken to fertilise 

 the stigmas with the pollen when in bloom, 

 they will produce plenty of seeds, which should 

 be sown as soon as gathered. After flowering, 

 the stems must be let die down, and they re- 

 quire no more water ; the pots may then be 

 laid on their sides, in a dry situation, and 

 there left till the March following, when they 

 should be planted." Young plants are gener- 

 ally obtained by dividing the' roots ; they are 

 also raised from seeds. Synonyme : 1, simplex.

GLOxfNlA, L'Heritier, Named in honour of P. 

 B. Gloxin, a botanist of Colmar. Linn. 14, 

 Or. 2, Nat. Or. Gesne.ri.cem. A splendid genus 

 of plants, well deserving of extensive cultiva- 

 tion ; they thrive best in a rich soil, consist- 

 ing of loam, peat, and sand, in equal quan- 

 tities, with a little vegetable soil, well mixed 

 together. In the summer they should have a 

 plentiful supply of water ; in winter they re- 

 quire very little water. G. maculata is easily 

 increased by divisions. The leaves of most of 

 the others, if taken off close to the stem, and 

 planted, will soon make young plants.
