History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
388. Cobcea. In honor of Barnadez Cobo, a Spanish Jesuit, who wrote upon subjects of natural history 
about the middle of the 17th century. The name arose with Cavanilles. This is the most rapid growing 
freenhouse climber known, having been found to grow 200 feet in length in one summer in a conservatory, 
t will thrive almost equally well in the open air during summer, but is destroyed by frost ; and its shoots are 
only of annual, or at most of biennial duration. It strikes in sand in moist heat, but it generally ripens 
seeds, which, sown early in spring, and forwarded in a stove, will flower in the greenhouse or open air the same 
season. 
389. Cantua. From Cantu, the native name of the genus among the Peruvians. Pretty greenhouse plants, 
rarely seen in gardens. 
390. Hoitzia. Hoitzit is the name of this plant in Mexico. A handsome plant with brilliant scarlet flowers. 
It is occasionally raised from Mexican seed, but is very rare in collections. 
391. Retzia. Named after John Retzius, professor of botany at Lund, in Sweden. His Observationes Bo- 
tanicae is a work of reputation. A small upright shrub with whorled lanceolate leaves, and clustered brown 
flowers, almost hidden among the leaves. 
392. Lubinia. A genus dedicated by Commerson to M. de Saint Lubin, a French officer who travelled in the 
East Indies. A small plant with ascending stem and fleshy smooth leaves, of little merit. 
393. Epacris. Named by Forster from st/, upon, and ccx^oi, the top of a thing ; because in New Zealand 
the species grow on the top of the mountains. A most ornamental genus, which Sweet observes, thrives " best 
in a sandy peat soil ; the rougher and more turfy the soil is, the better the plants will thrive : these should 
always be shifted in fresh pots before they are turned out of doors in spring, as their roots are so very fine, and 
are generally matted round the pots, so that the hot sun coming against the pots destroys them, and they look 
brown all through the summer, and are very ditficult to recover. Young cuttings planted in pots of sand under 
bell-glasses in autumn or winter, or early in spring, will strike root readily, but thsy will not strike so readily 
in summer : when rooted, they should be potted singly in small pots, and set in a close frame, and must be 
hardened to the air by degrees." {Bot. Cult. 186.) 
394. Styphelia. A name derived from ffTvtpo;, dense, in allusion to the compact habit of the genus. Erect
