of colors. The plant is large and handsome, bein^ eight feet six inches high, and six feet nine inches 

 wide. There is another plant here, twelve feet high, having upon it all tlie sorts I possess. They were 

 only grafted last summer, and a number of the sorts are showing Howers ; grafts of all of them have taken 

 and are growing well. The plant is growing in a box sixteen inches over by sixteen inches deep." {Calcd, 

 Mem. iii. 316.) 



SuBSECT. 4. Various Genera which may be considered as select Green-house Plants, 

 sliou'if, fragrant, and of easy culture. 

 6619. Of other select green-house plajits, the first we shall mention is the citrus tribe, 

 already treated of as fruit-trees (4879.) ; the beauty and fragance of which need no en- 

 comium. They merit a house by themselves, though they will thrive perfectly in the 

 same climate as the camellia. Tlie myrtle comes next in order : nerium is a well known 

 genus, whose flowers are of great beauty and long duration ; fuchsia is universally ad- 

 mired ; jasminum, gardenia, and daphne, have flowers of great fragrance ; heliotropium 

 is remarkable as smelling like new hay ; various species and varieties of rosa indica 

 and semperflorens are both beautiful and odoriferous, and flower throughout the winter. 

 Among the new genera from the Cape and Botany Bay, acacia, mimosa, eucalyptus, 

 melaleuca, metrosideros, and the proteacea, are admired for being prolific in showy 

 flowers, vs hich, for the most part, appear early in spring, and being chiefly evergreens 

 and large-gro-oing hardy plants. Diosma, gnidia, and strutliiola, are admired for their 

 minute foliage and elegant flowers ; those of xeranthemum are prized for their dura- 

 bility. Bignonia, coboea, dolichos, jasminum, lonicera, and passiflora, are admired 

 climbers ; of passiflora some beautiful hybrids have been originated by Milne of the 

 Fulham nurseiy. {Hort. Tj-ans. 'iv. 258. and v, 70.) Mesembryanthemum, cactus, 

 and yucca, are curious and beautiful succulents; amaryllis, cyclamen, iris, ixia, and gla- 

 diola, lachenalia, babiana, ferraria, and cxalis, are beautiful bulbous-rooted plants ; and 

 calla, celsia, cineraria, lobelia, trop^olum, and jacobaja, select herbaceous sorts. 



6620. Tlie pi-incipal species of these genera will be found arranged in the following sections, with their 

 colors, and other particulars, added to each. They are of easy culture, and, with the genera of the pre- 

 ceding subsections, may be considered as affording the best choice for a small, showy, odoriferous, ever- 

 green, and ever-flowering collection.
