nimed with Leaves ; but afterward 

 [the Plants make but little Progrefs, 

 and are frequently but thinly cloathed 

 With them. Thefe Plants are very 

 tender ; fo mould be conftantly kept 

 in the Bark-itove ; where if they are 

 duly watered, and the Stove kept 

 in a good Degree of Heat, the Plants 

 may be preferved very well. There 

 are fome of thefe Plants now in Eng- 

 land, which are upward of fix Feet 

 high, and as thriving as thofe in 

 their native Soil.

HALLERIA, African Ply Ho-

This Plant was fo named by Dr. 

 Xinnaus, in Honour to Albert us Hal- 

 /r/yProfeffor of Botany at Gottingen. 

 The Characters are ; 



The Empalement of the Flower is 

 of one Leaf, which is cut into three 

 Segments, the upper one bting much 

 broader than either of the other : the 

 Fltnver conjijis of one Leaf, and is in 

 Shape like the Snap-dragon, having a 

 'Tube, and the Upper -fart joined, and 

 refexed, and at the Brim is divided 

 into four Parts : in the Centre of the 

 Flower is ftuated the Pointal, at- 

 tended by four Stamina, tivo of which 

 are longer than the other : the Pointal 

 afterward changes to a round Berry

 Seed. 



We have but one Species of this 

 Plant in England; which is, 



Halle ri a foliis cvatis Icngitudi- 

 naliter ferratis. Flor. Leyd. African 

 Fly Honeyfuckle, with oval Leaves 

 Tawed the whole Length. 



The Englfo Name which I have 

 here added, has been given to this 

 Plant by fome Gardeners, who ob- 

 ferved that the Sh2pe of the Flower 



H A 



had fome Refcmblance to that of the 

 Upright or Fly Honeyfuckle, and, 

 for want of an Englijh Name, gave 

 this to it ; or they might take it 

 from the Latin Name, by which ic 

 was called by Dr. Boerhaave, who 

 made it a Species of Honeyfuckle. 



This Plant grows to the Height 

 of fix or eight Feet, having a woody 

 Stem, which is well furnifhed with 

 Branches : thefe have oval fawed 

 Leaves, which are placed oppofite 

 by Pairs, and continue green thro* 

 the Year : the Flowers come out 

 fmgly, and are of a red Colour; 

 but, being intermixed with the 

 Leaves, make but fmall Appearance : 

 yet as the Leaves are green in Win- 

 ter, the Plants make a Variety in 

 the Green -houfe during that Seafon. 



It may be propagated by Cut- 

 tings, which, if planted in Pots 

 filled with light Earth in the Spring, 

 and plunged into a gentle Hot-beci, 

 will loon take Root. Thefe Plants 

 may be expoied in Summer, and 

 will require Plenty of Water : in 

 Winter they mull be houfed with 

 Myrtles, and other hardy Exotic 

 Plants.
