 meli&cece. Very interesting plants of the lichen

 the concentric arrangement of the stamens. 

 Linn. 22, Or. 12, Nat. Or. Euphorbiacece. The 

 species of this genus are ornamental trees, 

 thriving well in loam and peat ; and are in-

HAASIA, Blume. See Dehaasia. 

 Habenaria, Willdenow. From habena, 

 a rein, or thong ; in allusion to the long strap- 

 shaped, spur. Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Or- 

 chid&eece. This is a genus of interesting 

 plants, well deserving of a place in every col- 

 lection. The hardy kinds will grow well in 

 the open border, with a slight protection for 

 the American species in severe, frosty, or rainy 

 weather. The stove species grow best in a 

 mixture of leaf-mould and peat, placed in a 

 hot, damp part of the house when in a grow- 

 ing state ; but like the genus BUtia, after the 

 plants have lost their leaves, and the roots 

 become dormant, they require to be kept cool 

 and dry until the roots begin to push, when 

 the plants should be repotted, and again placed 

 in a hot and moist heat. They are all in- 

 creased by divisions of the roots. Synonymes :

HABLfcrziA, Bieberstcin. In honour of C. Von 

 Hablitz, a traveller, and author of Travels in 

 the Crimea. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ama- 

 rantacece. We can give no particulars of this 

 plant ; indeed, it is possible that it may be 

 lost to the country. Increase is by cuttings, 

 or seeds. v

Habranthus, Herbert. From habros, delicate, 

 and anthos, a flower. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Amaryllid&cecs. All the species of this genus 

 are pretty when in flower. A mixture of three 

 parts sandy loam, and one part peat, suits the 

 various species of this genus. They may be 

 increased by offsets from the roots, or by seeds, 

 which are frequently produced in abundance.
