Jatropha, Linn. From iatros, physician, and 

 trophe, food ; in allusion to the medicinal pro- 

 perties of the plants. Linn. 21, Or. 10, Nat. 

 Or. Euphorbidcece. The species of this genus 

 are only valuable in a medicinal point of view. 

 They thrive well in sandy loam and peat, in 

 small pots, with little water. Most of the 

 species ripen seed freely if care be taken to 

 fertilise the stigmas with the pollen. Cut- 

 tings root very readily stuck in the tan, in a 

 strong heat. The seeds of I. Curcas are pur- 

 gative and emetic ; an oil is obtained from 

 them, which is a valuable external application 

 in itch. See Janlpha and Siphbnia.

Jeffers6nia. Dedicated by Barton, to Mr. 

 Jefferson, the celebrated president of the 

 United States. Linn. 8, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Berberidicece. This is a pretty hardy plant, 

 very curious, from the peculiar mode of 

 dehiscence of its capsule. It grows well in 

 any common garden soil, and may be in- 

 creased by dividing the roots, or by seeds.

Joliffia. Named by Bojer, in compliment to 

 his friend M. Jolliffe. Linn. 22, Or. 13, Nat. 

 Or. Cucurbitdcece. These are splendid plants, 

 producing their curious and beautiful flowers in 

 great profusion ; but require a large space 

 to grow in, and to be frequently pruned be- 

 fore flowering. They grow well in sandy loam 

 and a little peat. It is much better to raise 

 them from cuttings of 'the flowering shoots, as 

 they will bloom much earlier ; • they will root 

 without difficulty in soil or sand, under a glass, 

 in heat. Synonyme .- 1, Telfalria peltata, Feu-

Jonesia, Roxburgh. In honour of the distin-

 Jones. Linn. 7, Or. 1 , Nat. Or. Fabdcew. The 

 species of this genus are highly fragrant, and 

 well worthy of a place in every collection. 

 They thrive well in a mixture of sandy loam 

 and peat ; and large cuttings root freely under 

 a glass, in heat. Synonyme : 1, J. pinnata,.
