 Leaves elliptical, entire. Flower-llalks axillary, forked. 

 Upper lip of the corolla linear, very narrow. — Found in the 

 Eafl Indies. It thrives in our ftoves, flowering almoft all 

 the year through. The Jlowers are confpicuous for their 

 whitenefs, and for the great breadth of the lower lip, whofe 

 bafe is dotted with crimfon, while the upper is extremely 

 narrow.

 nearly fohtary ; terminal ones ternate. Leaves ovate, or 

 fomewhat lanceolate. — ^Native of Peru, from whence it was 

 brought to Spain, and from thence by the marchionefs of 

 Bute to England. It increafes plentifully by feed in the 

 ftovc, and is a flirubby plant, with copious not inelegant 

 purplii}ij?o«)cv-j, whofe palate is fpeckled with white. 



J. Jdhatoda. Linn. Sp. PI. 20. Curt. Mag. t. 861. — 

 Spikes oppofite, axillary, ilalked. Brafteas ovate, acute, 

 ribbed. Corolla fomewhat clofed. — Native of Ceylon, an 

 old grcen-houfe plant in Europe, and Tournefort's original 

 fpecics. It is commonly called the Malabar nut, a name not 

 very appropriate. The (hrub is handfome and umbrageous, 

 with large ovate haves. ThQ fo-jjers are white, their palate 

 veined with purple, which is much concealed by their clofed 

 or ringent form. They are but rarely produced in Eng- 

 land.

 t. 51. — Leaves feffile, lanceolate. Stalks axillary, folitary, 

 one or two-flowered. Corolla fomewhat clofed. — Native 

 of the Cape of Good Hope. It is kept in the green-houfe 

 at Kew, flowering in autumn. This is a rigid .flirub, with 

 fmall crowded, hardi leaves. Thejlo-uiers, not very unlike 

 the lalt in form, are white with a reddifli tinge about the pa- 

 late, and grow, folitary or in pairs, on axillary ttalks, longer 

 than the leaves. 



JusTFClA, in Gardening, comprizes plants of the flirubby 

 and herbaceous kinds, of which the fpecies moftly cultivated 

 are, chickweed-leaved jullicia (J. fexangularis) ; the fcor- 

 picn-tail Vera Cruz jufticia (J. fcorpioidcs) ; the long- 

 fpiked jufticia (J. ecbolium) ; the Malabar nut (J. adl-.a- 

 toda) ; and the fnap-tree (J. hyn"opifolia). 



Method of Culture. — Thefe plants may be increafed, 

 fonf.e of them by feeds, and the others by layers and cuttings ; 

 but the latter modes are moftly praftifed, as the feeds are 

 obtained with difficulty. 



JUS ' 



Where the feeds are capable of being procured, thev : 

 be fown in fmali pots filled with light frelh earth, in the i 

 fpring, being plunged in a hot-bed of bark, waterin.y 

 mould of the pots moderately, when it becomes dry. 

 they often remain long before the plants appear, the 

 ftiould not be difl;urbed, but be kept in the hot-bed. Whci; :.,; 

 plants appear, frefli air fnould be admitted in mild weatlier, 

 and flight waterings given ; and when they have attained a 

 few inches in growth, they fiiould be removed into feparate' 

 pots filled with fvefli earth, re-plunging them in the hot- 

 bed, watering and fliading them till they have taken frefli 

 root ; air being then freely admitted, and as the feafon grows 

 warm, due waterings being given. As they advance in 

 growth, they fliould be placed in larger pots, taking care 

 not to o.erpot them, keeping them conftantly in the hot- 

 bed. 



Tlie layers fhould be laid down in the early fpring, ia 

 pots fi.led with light earth, a little water being given at 

 the tin.e. 



The cuttings may be made from the young flioots, and 

 planted in pots filled with the fame fort of earth, in the later 

 fpring or fnmmer months, giving them a little water, and 

 plunging them in the hot-bed of bark in the ftove, due 

 fhade being given. 



V.^hen the plants have become perfeftly rooted, they may 

 be taken off, or removed into feparate pots, keeping them 

 conftantly in the ftove or green-houfe, according as they 

 are more or let's hardy. The two firft f.^rts are the 

 moft hardy ; the others fucceeding beft in the hot-houfe 

 or ilove. 



The two firft afford ornament and variety among the 

 other potted plants of the lefs tender forts, and the other 

 among thofe of the ilove kinds.
