 pressed, the upper margin or both margins wingec.i: 

 seeds 1-6. 



A. i'7i'. on rather long pedicels. 

 E. Petals longer than the ealijx. 

 speci6sa, -Jacq. A tree or shrub, about 10 ft. high: 

 Ivs. variable in form, which fact has led to much 

 separation of this species into varieties and species: 

 Ifts. 8-32, linear, oblong, or obovate: fls. crimson, in 

 terminal panicles. B.M. 1153 (as S. tamarindifoliu). 

 — Advertised in southern California.

 Ifts. 8-10, larger than in S. speciosa, ovate-oljlong or 

 obovate: x:)anicles many-fld., axillary and terminal: 

 calyx-tube conical, crimson; pjetals very small, linear, 

 hidden by the calyx. — Cult, in southern Florida.

SCHEfiBERA (perhaps after J. C. D. Schreber, 1739- 

 1810, physician and naturalist). OteAcect'. A genus of 

 4 species of trees from Africa and India, with unequally 

 pinnate leaves and flowers in very much branched 

 cymes: calyx tubular-bell-shaped, irregularly 4-7-lobed; 

 corolla salver-shaped: tube cylindrical; lobes 4-7, 

 spreadin,g; stamens 2, near tlie top of the corolla-tube; 

 ovary 2-celled.

 glabrous: ifts. 5-7, ovate, acute, 4x2 in.: lis. white, 

 with brown marks, about \ in. across, in many-ttd. 

 cymes. Cult, in southern Florida. 



SCHTJBfiRTIA is a subgenus of Araujia, but in this 

 work it is accounted for under Physianthns. 



SCIADCPITYS (Greek, sldas, skiadoH, umbrella, and 

 pilys, spruce; alluding to the position of the leaves). 

 Goniferw. Umbeeela Pine. Evergreen tree, of narrow 

 pyramidal habit, with linear, rather large, needle-like 

 leaves in whorls and oval cones 3-4 in. long. The only 

 species is hardy as far north as Portland, Me., and is 

 a beautiful conifer of compact, conical form, with 

 glossy dark green foli- 

 age. It is of rather slow -^.^^ ^ v\ 

 growth. It thrives well ' ^^=::^<^^^-^^ ^^— 

 in a moderately moist, 

 loamy, and also in claye>' 

 soil. Prop, by seeds and 

 layers, and sparingly by 

 cuttings of half -ripened 

 wood in summer ; but 

 seedlings are to be pre- 

 ferred, as they grow 

 more symmetrically and 

 more vigorously. Monotypic genus from Japan. Lvs. 

 linear, deeply furrowed on both sides, disposed in 

 whorls at the ends of the short annual shoots ; they 

 are of two kinds: the true lvs, are small and bract-
