or five, sessile on the ends of the branches ; 

 and the females in similar groups, but stalk- 

 ed. The corolla is salver-shaped, with a 

 short and slightly inflated tube, hairy 

 throat, and four-lobed limb. The fruit is 

 berry-like, black, and two-celled. [M. T. M.] 



GARDE-ROBE. (Fr.) Artemisia Abro- 

 tanum. 



GARDNERIA. A genus of Loganiacece 

 composed of two scandent opposite-leaved 

 bushes found in India and Japan. They 

 differ from most in the family in having 

 little berried two-celled fruits, with one or 

 two instead of many seeds in each cell ; 

 and the lateral attachment of these in a 

 shield-like manner, not erect from the 

 base, serves to distinguish the plants from 

 their nearest allies. The narrow or broadly 

 lance-shaped leaves are smooth and entire, 

 and the small yellow blossoms are disposed 

 in loose panicles which arise from the axils 

 of the leaves, and in size and form are not 

 unlike those of the privet. The ripe fruits 

 are scarlet berries, about the size of a large 

 red currant, with two seeds. [A. A. B.] 



GARDOQUTA. The name of a genus of 

 labiates, having the teeth of the calyx 

 short, straight, and nearly of the same 

 size ; the corolla with a long almost 

 straight tube, its upper lip notched, the 

 lower in three lobes, the middle one of 

 which is broadest ; style bifid at the end, 

 the divisions small and equal in length. 

 The name was given in honour of Gardoqui, 

 a Spanish financier who promoted the pub- 

 lication of a Flora of Peru. The species 

 are low shrubs or undershrubs chiefly na- 

 tives of Peru and Chili, rare in North 

 America, and having showy usually pink 

 flowers. [G. D.] 



GARGET. An American name for Phy- 

 tolacca decandra. 



GARIDELLA. A genus of Ranuncu- 

 lacea?. consisting of a few herbs from the 

 Mediterranean region and temperate Asia, 

 resembling Nigella, but more slender in 

 habit, the ovary containing two or three, 

 not five or more carpels, and the styles 

 very short. They are erect annuals with 

 dissected leaves, and small solitary whitish 

 flowers at the extremity of long peduncles. 

 G. Nigellastrum, which is found in the 

 south of France, Spain, and Crete, is the 

 most frequent. [J. T. S.J

GARRYACEiE. (Garry ads.) A natural 

 order of monochlamydeous dicotyledons 

 belonging to,Lindley's garryal alliance of 

 diclinous Exogens. Shrubs with opposite 

 exstipulate leaves and catkin-hearing im- 

 perfect flowers surrounded by united bracts. 

 The stammate flowers have a four-leaved 

 perianth, alternating with four stamens. 

 The pistillate flowers have an adherent two- 

 toothed perianth. Ovary one-celled ; styles 

 two; ovules two, pendulous with long 

 cords. Fruit a two-seeded berry ; embryo 

 minute in the base of fleshy albumen. 

 The wood is not arranged in circles, and 

 there is an absence of dotted vessels. 

 They are natives chiefly of the temperate 

 parts of America. The few species are dis- 

 tributed between the genera Garry a and 

 Fadyenia, the latter of which, however, is 

 not generally adopted. [J. H. B.] 



GARRY A. The only admitted genus of 

 Garryacece, composed of opposite-leaved 

 evergreen bushes, found in California, Mex- 

 ico, Cuba, and Jamaica. G. elliptica, is one of 

 the most desirable evergreens we have in 

 our gardens, especially as it produces its 

 pale greenish-yellow blossoms in the spring 

 months when little else is in bloom. It 

 was sent from California by the lamented 

 Douglas in 1818. This bush, with much 

 the aspect of an evergreen oak, may be 

 seen sometimes eight to ten feet high, its 

 branches clad with dark green elliptical 

 leaves. The flowers are male and female 

 on different plants, arranged in elegant 

 drooping necklace-like catkins which pro- 

 ceed from near the apex of the shoots, and 

 are often from four to seven inches long. 

 In the male plant(which alone is in cultiva- 

 tion) they are clothed with silky hairs, and 

 a plant covered with these tassels of pale 

 yellow flowers waving in the wind, has a 

 'singularly graceful appearance. Each link 

 of the necklace (if we may so speak) is 

 composed of a cup-shaped bract enclosing 

 three flowers, each having a calyx of four 

 divisions and four stamens. Inthefemale 

 the disposition of the flowers is the same. 

 The fruit is a two-seeded berry somewhat 

 like that of the hawthorn in size and shape. 

 The calyx of some species is destitute of 

 the two teeth which are seen in G. elliptica, 

 and the tips of the calyx-leaves in the male 

 flowers remain united to each other; these 

 are separated by some authors, who give to 

 them the name of Fadyenia, but such dif- 

 ferences are not distinctive. The flowers of 

 some species are in compound instead of 

 simple racemes, but none can be compared 

 to G. elliptica for beauty. [A. A. B.] 



GARJJGA. An Indian name applied to 

 a genus of Amyridacea:, consisting of trees 

 whose flowers have a five-cleft bell-shaped 

 calyx; five petals inserted between the 

 notched and glandular lobes of a fleshy 

 disk ; and a pulpy fruit with five or fewer 

 bony one-seeded stones. G. pinnata, an
