 Bignoniaa.m. These are fine lofty trees, with 

 the elegant habit of the fine-leaved Acacias. 

 The soil best suited for them is loam, peat, 

 and sand ; and cuttings, with the leaves 

 whole, of the half-ripened wood, will root in 

 sand, under a glass. The best way to get 

 them to flower, is to keep the plants dry in 

 winter. Synonymes: 1, Bignbnia ccerulea j 2,

jACQT/fNlA, Linn. In honour of the celebrated 

 botanist, N. J. Von Jacquin, professor at 

 Vienna. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Myrsi- 

 nacece. A genus of very desirable plants, on 

 account of the beauty of their flowers. They 

 are of easy culture in a mixture of sand and 

 peat. It is thought that watering these 

 plants occasionally with salted water, has a 

 tendency to make them grow and flower more 

 freely. Cuttings will root in sand, under a 

 glass, in heat ; but they are by no means easy 

 of propagation.
