 of James Theodore Tabernaemontanus, a 

 celebrated physician and botanist. Linn. 5, 

 Or. 1, Nat. Or. Apocynacem. A genus of in- 

 teresting plants, mostly bearing white, sweet- 

 scented flowers. A mixture of loam, peat, 

 and sand suits them best : and young plants 

 may be obtained from cuttings, planted in 

 sand, under a glass, in a moist heat. Syno-

TACCA, Forster. The Malay name of the spe- 

 cies. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Taccacece. 

 Interesting plants, thriving well in a mixture 

 of loam, peat, and sand ; and readily increas- 

 ing by division of the roots. They must be 

 very sparingly watered whilst in a dormant 

 state. The large fleshy roots, when scraped 

 and frequently washed, yield a nutritive fecula 

 resembling arrow-root. See Arum, and 

 Atdccia.

 herbs, with tuberous roots, which contain a 

 large quantity of fecula, which is prepared and 

 used as food after the manner of sago.

Tachta,' Aublet. From Tachi, which, it is said, 

 signifies an ant's nest ; a name applied in its 

 native country to T. Guianinsis on account 

 of its trunk and branches being usually full of 

 ants ; this species, we believe, is not yet in- 

 troduced to this country. Linn. 5, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Gentianctcew. These plants will grow 

 freely in a mixture of peat, sand, and loam ; 

 a small portion of the last will suffice ; cirttings 

 planted in sand,, under a hand-glass, in heat, 

 will strike, root readily. The species are 

 rather difficult to keep through the winter, in, 

 this country, on account of their being liable 

 to damp off ; and in order to prevent this, they 

 should be very sparingly watered in damp 

 weather. Synonymes : ■ 1, Lisidnthus eordi- 

 fblius; 2, L. longifblius ; 3, L. exsertus. See

 the species in Guiana. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat. 

 Or. Fabacece. This genus succeeds best in a 

 light loamy soil ; and krge cuttings root 

 readily if planted in sand, with a glass over 

 them ; they must be placed in heat,
