 elegant plants, well worth cultivating. T.

 a wall, or front of a house. The other kinds 

 require the same treatment as the species of 

 Bignbnia. Synonymcs : 1, Bignbnia Pandbrce;

Tect6na, Linn. From its name in Malabar, 

 Teklca. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Verbenacece. 

 This tree thrives well in a mixture of peat and 

 loam, in a strong heat ; and ripened cuttings 

 will root in sand, under a glass, in heat. In 

 its native country, it is much valued for the 

 hardness and durability of its wood ; of which 

 some of the largest ships have been built, both 

 at Calcutta and Madras,

 Linn. 14, Or. 2, Nat. Or. Scrophulariacece. 

 Pretty plants when in blossom. A rich light 

 soil suits them best ; and they are readily in- 

 creased by cuttings or seeds.

TeesdAlia, B. Brown. In honour of Robert 

 Teesdale, author of a Catalogue of plants 

 growing about Castle Howard. Linn. 15, 

 Nat. Or. Brassicacece. Pretty little annuals, 

 well adapted for rock-work, where the seeds 

 have only to be sown, and may afterwards be 

 allowed to scatter themselves. Synonymcs : I, 

 T. nudicaulis ; 2, T. regularis.

Telephium. Linnaeus named this genus after 

 Telephus, son of Hercules by Auge, and, ac- 

 cording to some, king of Mysia. Linn. 5, Or.

 plant, not worth cultivating — Iw.pe.rdti. See 

 Sedum TeUphiwm.

Telipogon, Humboldt and Eunth. From telos, 

 an end, anipogon, a beard. Linn. 20, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Orchid&ceoz. A curious genus ol 

 Orchids respecting which nothing definite is 

 known as to their culture, but judging from 

 the natural habitats of the species, it is more 

 than probable they will flourish under ordinary 

 management.

Tel6pea, R. Brown. From Telopas, seen at a 

 distance ; alluding to the great distance from 

 which its crimson-coloured blossoms are dis- 

 cernible in its native country. Linn. 4, Or. 1, 

 Nat. Or. Proteacece. This magnificent plant is 

 considered to be rather difficult of culture. A 

 light soil, composed of equal parts of sandy 

 loam and heath mould, with a good proportion 

 of sand and gritstone, well incorporated, ap- 

 pears to suit it best. The pot in which it is 

 grown must be well drained ; and in watering, 

 care must be taken never to allow the plant to 

 flag, nor yet to over-water it. Though it re- 

 quires very little water in the winter season, 

 it must have a good supply in the summer 

 months, particularly while growing freely. It 

 should always be kept in a light, airy part of 

 the house. It may be propagated by cuttings, 

 in sand, under a glass ; but young plants may 

 be obtained readier, and with greater certainty, 

 by layers ; as the plants naturally produce an 

 abundance of suckers, which may be easily 

 laid down into small pots, introduced round 

 the one in which the plant is growing. In 

 summer, the Warratah succeeds well in an 

 airy part of the greenhouse, but in winter, it 

 subsists better in a cool, airy part of the stove,

Templet6nia, R. Brown. In honour of Mr. 

 John Templeton, of Orange Grove, near Bel- 

 fast, an excellent botanist. Linn. 16, Or. 6, 

 Nat. Or. Fabacece. Interesting plants, thriv- 

 ing well in a mixture of sandy loam and peat ; 

 and increased by young cuttings, in sand, 

 under a glass.
