shorter ; and an ovary crowned with a short 

 style, and a shield-like stigma. The lance- 

 shaped pods are two to three inches long, 

 compressed and one-seeded. Both species 

 are trees of considerable size, and H. bi- 

 nata is said to yield a good timber suit- 

 able for many purposes. [A. A. B.]

HARINA. A genus of East Indian palms, 

 previously described under the name of 

 WaUichia, by which they are most generally 

 known. Harina, however, forms a section 

 of the genus, characterised by having the 

 male and female flowers upon the same 

 plant, the males being in dense masses, 

 and having an undivided calyx, and six 

 stamens. [A.S.] 



HARLANDIA. The glabrous climbing ! 

 plant described under this name, and ] 

 native at Hong Kong, is stated by Mr. I 

 Bentham to belong to the cucurbitaceous 

 genus Karivia. [M. T. MJ 



HARLOCK. Probably Burdock, Arctium 

 Lappa. 



HARPALTCE. A small genus of hand- 

 some erect pinnate-leaved bushes of 

 Mexico and Brazil, belonging to the Galega 

 group of the Leguviinosce, and differing 

 from its allies in the calyx being cleft 

 nearly to the base and consisting of but 



two narrow and entire segments nearly as j 

 long as the corolla. H. brasihana, a bush ! 

 of four to eight feet high, clothed with a I 

 reddish velvety down, hears handsome j 

 scarlet pea-flowers disposed in a panicled I 

 or racemed manner towards the ends of | 

 the twigs. The Mexican species are I 

 smooth, and have purple flowers. In all, ! 

 five of the ten stamens, which are united 

 into a sheath, are shorter than the others, 

 and have small rounded anthers. The pods 

 are coriaceous, somewhat flattened, and 

 many-seeded, and, as in Cassia, the seeds 

 are separated from each other by trans- 

 verse partitions. [A. A. B.] 



HARPANEMA. A genus of Asclepiada- 

 cece, containing a single species, a native 

 of Madagascar. It is a climbing shrub with 

 opposite glabrous coriaceous leaves, and 

 small flowers in compound axillary cymes. 

 The calyx is five-parted ; the corolla is 

 rotate and five-cleft : the staminal corona 

 consists of five linear bifid hooked pro- 

 cesses alternating with the lobes of the 

 corolla; the anthers have a fleshy apex 

 bent down upon the stigma; and the 

 pollen-masses are attached by fours to the 

 stigmatic corpuscles. [W. C] 



HARRISONIA. The name of a shrub with 

 prickly branches, found in the island of 

 Timor, and referred to the Simarubacece, 

 among which it is known by the stamens 

 being attached to hairy two-lobed scales ; 

 by the four-lobed ovary ; and by the four 

 styles, separate at the base, but united 

 above. The same name has been applied 

 to an asclepiad with scarlet flowers, now 

 included under Baxtera. [M. T. M.] 



HARSTRONG or HORESTRONG. Peu- 



cedanum officinale. 



HARTIGHSEA. A small genus of Melia- 

 ceai confined to the islands of the Indian 

 Archipelago, New Zealand, the east coast 

 of New Holland, and Norfolk Island. They 

 are trees of moderate height, with large 

 pinnate leaves, and long panicles of small- 

 ish flowers, which have a small four or flve- 

 lobed calyx, five narrow petals joined to- 

 gether by their bases, the tube of the sta- 

 mens cylindrical and fleshy, with eight or 

 ten rounded notches at the apex, and the 

 three-celled ovary included within a tubu- 

 lar disk occupying the centre of the flower. 

 H. spectabilis, a native of NewZealand, forms 

 a tree forty or fifty feet high. Its drooping 

 panicles of pale-coloured flowers measure 

 from eight to twelve inches in length, 

 and grow from the main trunk or older 

 branches. The New-Zealanders call the 

 tree Kohe or Wahahe. Its leaves have a 

 bitter taste, and are employed as a substi- 

 tute for hops, and a spirituous infusion of 

 them as a stomachic medicine. [A. S.] 



HARTOGIA. A genus of Celastracece 

 peculiar to South Africa, and represented 

 by a single species, H. capensis, a small 

 much-branched tree, with opposite lance- 

 shaped serrated leaves, and small white 

 numerous flowers in axillary cymes or 

 panicles. The fruits are dry elliptical two-
