Hedera, Swartz. The name appears to be de- 

 rived from hedra, a Celtic word, signifying a 

 cord, and the English name, Ivy, is derived 

 from iw, a word in the same language, signify- 

 ing green, from its being always green. Linn. 

 S, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Araliacem. The common 

 Ivy is very often employed for covering naked 

 buildings, or trees, which latter it invariably 

 ■ kills ; it is increased by slips taken off, and 

 planted where they are to grow. The tender 

 kinds will grow in any soil, though they ap- 

 pear to grow better in a very light one. See 

 Aralia.

Hedychium, Konig. From hedys, sweet, and 

 chion, snow ; alluding to the sweet-scented 

 snow-white flowers of some of the species. 

 Linn. 1, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Zingiberacece. The 

 species of ffedtfckium, or Garland Flower, are 

 all highly-prized flowering plants, more parti- 

 cularly H. angusUfblium and H. coronariwin ; 

 they are all well worthy of extensive culti- 

 vation, and will grow freely in rich light 

 soil, but to flower them well, they require 

 large pots, and a plentiful supply of water 

 when in a growing state ; they are readily 

 increased by dividing the roots. Synonymes :
