and Miscellanecms Particulars. 
branched shrubs, natives of New Holland, with scattered mucronate leaves, and axillary, nodding, very showy 
flowers. Culture as for Andersonia. 
395. Lissanthe. A New Holland genus of shrubs with small white flowers, the segments of which are smooth, 
not bearded as in Leucopogon^ to which the genus is next. From this difFerence its name has been contrived ; 
Xiaaot, smooth, and oivB-os, a flower. 
396. Astroloma. From ats'^ov, a star, and XufAot, a fringe, in allusion to the stellate disposition of the little 
bundles of hairs at the bottom of the tube. A genus of neat little bushes, with axillary erect flowers. Culture 
as for Andersonia. 
397. Sprengelia. So called in honor of Curt Sprengel, professor at Halle, in Saxony, a learned man 
and respectable botanist. His Historia Rei Herbariae is a monument of industry and information. This is a 
handsome half-hardy genus, delighting in a shady aspect, sandy peat soil, and dry bottom. They must be 
watered sparingly when n6t growing freely. Cuttings root in sand under a bell-glass. 
398. Andersonia. Named by Mr. Browne, first, after William Anderson, a navy surgeon, who died in Cook's 
last voyage ; secondly, after Dr. Anderson, formerly director of the botanical garden, St. Vincents ; and lastly, 
after William Anderson, the curator of the apothecaries' garden, Chelsea. According to Sweet, this genus 
" grows freely in a sandy peat soil with the pots well drained ; and care should be taken not to over-water it, 
as they are very liable to get sodden, when they seldom recover. The very young tops put in for cuttings, 
under a bell-glass in sand, will root readily. When first potted ofF, they should be put singly in small thumb- 
pots, and kept close in a frame for a few days, and hardened to the air by degrees." {Bot. Cult. 133.) 
399. Lysinema. Perhaps derived from Xva-ig, a separation or solution, and vnix,a, a stamen ; but the applica- 
tion of the name is not obvious. Shrubs with the habit of Epacris. They prefer rough turfy soil, and cuttings 
root readily in sand under a bell-glass. 
400. Monotoca. From iju>vo;, one, and Toy.o?, birth, because only one ovulum is borne by the ovarium, a 
remarkable circumstance in the natural order of the genus. The species are little shrubs, with axillary or 
terminal spikes of white flowers. They require well drained pots, and their cuttings must be taken off when 
very young, and planted in sand under a bell-glass.
