 A mixture of weeds and showy herbs, of humble creeping plants and of lofty timber trees. Some of the 

 Vitexes and Clerodendrums are handsome shrubs : Alo^sia is esteemed for the fragrance of its flowers, and 

 Holrnskicldm for the refulgent scarlet of its enlarged calyxes. Tectona produces the famous Indian teakwood. 

 No properties of consequence have been attributed, by medical men, to any plant of the order, those formerly 

 ascribed to the vervain and chaste-tree being now disregarded. The species are natives of waysides in Europe, 

 and of woods and barren plains in the tropics. Cuttings, divisions, and seeds.

South Sea and New Holland shrubs, with scarcely any hair. The leaves are simple, alternate, or opposite, 

 with no stipula?. The flowers, scarlet, white, or blue, axillary without bracteae. These are very near Verbe- 

 nacea?. Stenochllus is the handsomest genus of the order: the Avicennias are shore plants, growing in the 

 place of the mangroves, and shooting their long roots to a great distance among the mud, sometimes to 

 the length of six feet along the surface before they fix themselves. Their medicinal properties, if any, 

 are unknown. Cuttings.

 These are known by the elastic dehiscence of their capsules, and the hooked processes of the seeds. They 

 are almost entirely tropical herbs or shrubs, with the pubescence, if any, simple or capitate, but never stellate. 

 Their leaves are opposite, occasionally arranged in fours, simple and undivided, or very seldom lobed. The 

 flowers are either in imbricated heads or open racemes, always enclosed in their bractea? ; and are white, blue 

 yellow, scarlet, or purple. Some of the species are very showy, but few of them are cultivated commonly ; a 

 large proportion are mere weeds. The Thunbergias are fine climbers, and the Acanthus m611is, the foliage 

 of which gave rise to the classical acanthus of architecture, is, perhaps, except Morina persica, one of the most 

 interesting of hardy herbaceous plants. It is also one of the few species to which any medicinal properties are 

 ascribed, being used sometimes as an emollient by reason of its mucilage. Justice biflora is employed in Egypt 

 as a poultice, J. Ecbblium as a diuretic, and J. pectoralis as a vulnerary. Cuttings, seeds, and division.

 Very pretty interesting aquatics, which are scarcely susceptible of cultivation, except in a few cases. The 

 Pinguiculas are either European or North American, inhabitating elevated patches in bogs : the Utricularias 

 are floaters, found in most countries in marshes and little rills : their flowers, are white, yellow or blue. Offsets

 Beautiful dwarf herbs, inhabiting the mountains and meadows of all parts of the world, but especially 

 In the northern hemisphere. Nothing can be more lovely than the little delicate alpine Primulas, Androsaces, 

 Aretias, and Soldanellas, with their little modest blossoms, sometimes rivalling the whiteness of the surrounding 

 snow, sometimes emulating the intense blue of the empyrean, as if the one had borrowed its hues from 

 heaven, and the other from the spotless mantle of the earth. Hotfbm'a is a naiad of the stream, inhabiting 

 several parts of England, in ponds and ditches, which are enlivened for many a month with its rosy 

 flowers, peeping from among the sedge and under-grass by which it is environed. All the genera are familiar 

 to gardeners, excej.c Centunculus and Schwe"nckz'c, of which the former is singular in the order, as being
