Hedyfnois, Tournefurt. From hedys, sweet,

 the power of scenting the breath. Lima. 19, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Aster&cece. Hardy annuals, of

 the open ground — coronopifdlia, crMica, rnau- 

 ritdnica, monspeliinsis, pindula, rhagadiololdes, 

 tubtefdrmis. 



Hedysartjm, Linn. From hedysarcm, the name 

 of a papilionaceous plant described by Theo- 

 phrastus. Linn. 17, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Fabacece. 

 Almost all the species of this genus are very 

 handsome flowering plants, producing racemes 

 of very beautiful pea flowers, particularly 

 adapted for flower-borders, or rock-work. They 

 grow freely in a light rich soil, or loam and 

 peat, and the herbaceous kinds are increased 

 by dividing the roots in spring, or by seeds. 

 The seeds of the annual and biennial kinds 

 only require sowing in the open border in 

 spring. Synonymes: 1, H. sibiricum ; 2, If. 

 alpinumj 3, H. obscHrum altaicum; 4, H.

HeImia, Linlc. In honour of Dr. Heim, a cele- 

 brated Berlin physician. Linn. 11, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. LytkrAcece. These plants are very 

 pretty when in blossom ; they grow well in an 

 equal mixture of loam and peat, with a little 

 sand. They only require to be protected from 

 frost in winter, which may easily be done if 

 the plants are against a south wall ; if in pots^ 

 they should be removed into the greenhouse-- 

 Cuttings strike freely either in sand or soil, 

 under a glass. Synonyme: 1, Nesdsa salici- 

 fblia.

HeiNSIA, De Candolle. In compliment to the 

 philologist Heinsius. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Oinchonaceoe. A stovo shrub, in some respects 

 resembling the Gardinia; and will flourish

HEfNTZlA, Karsten. Most likely named after a 

 botanist named Heintz. Linn. 14, Or. 2, 

 Nat. Or. Gesnericece. The only species of this 

 genus yet introduced is a soft- wooded, strong- 

 growing plant, and requires similar treatment 

 to the shrubby species of Gesn&ra.

Heisteria. Named by Linnaeus, in honour of 

 Laurence Heister, once professor of botany at 

 Helmstadt, who died in 1758. Linn. 10, Or. 

 1, Nat. Or. OlacAceoe. This is a tree which 

 attains the height of about fifteen feet, and is 

 cultivated in a mixture of loam, peat, and 

 sand ; and cuttings will root in sand, under a 

 glass, in heat. The wood of this tree is" the 

 partridge-wood, or Bois Perdrix, of the cabinet- 

 makers,

Helcia, Lindley. From heleiwm, a. word said 

 to mean the collar of a horse ; in reference to 

 the appearance of one part of the flower op- 

 posed to the other when viewed . front-wise. 

 Linn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orehidacece. The 

 relationship of this plant is evidently greatest 

 to Trichopllia ; it is, however, also closely as- 

 sociated with Aspasia, from which it differs in 

 not having the lip united to the column, and 

 in its deep-fringed anther-bed. All these are
