all deserving a place in every collection. I. 

 .n<Uans should be grown in a large pot of water, 

 in rich loamy soil, in a warm part of the stove, 

 and increased by seeds sown in spring. I. 

 scapifldra thrives well in a light rich soil, with 

 careful watering in winter. The frame species 

 should be sown on a gentle hotbed in spring, 

 and when about two inches high, they may be 

 planted out into the open border. The seeds 

 of the hardy kinds should be sown in the open 

 border in a shady situation. Synonymes : 1,

 fern, to bear ; most of the species produce the 

 well known dye called Indigo. Linn. 17, Or. 

 4, Nat. Or. Fabacece. An extensive genus of 

 rather elegant plants, the 'shrubby kinds of 

 which are well worthy of cultivation. The 

 stove and greenhouse shrubby kinds thrive 

 best in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, and 

 may be increased without difficulty by cuttings 

 of the young wood planted in sand, under a 

 glass, in heat. The annual and biennial kinds 

 must be raised from seeds sown in a hotbed in 

 spring, and when the plants have grown a 

 sufficient height, they may be planted singly 

 into pots, and treated as other tender annuals 

 and biennials. The powdered leaf of /. Anil 

 is used in hepatitis. Indigo is produced from 

 various species of this genus, especially from 

 /. tinctbria. Synonymes: 1, I. tincibria, bra-
