History, Use, Propagation, Culture 
415. Plumieria. So named by Tournefort, in honor of Charles Plumier of Marseilles, a Franciscan friar, 
who travelled into South America. He is distinguished for the accuracy of his observations, and for the fide- 
lity of his drawings, which are the only representations of many of the most curious plants of the West Indies 
and South America. His drawings of flowers have seldom, even in these days of pictorial excellence, been 
equalled. He was the author of Plantee Americanos, 1693, and other excellent works. This is a fine flowering 
genus. " It succeeds best in a light loamy soil, and requires but little water. Large cuttings taken ott'and 
laid to dry for a considerable time, may be stuck in the tan in a moderate heat, or planted in pots, and they 
will root freely ; they must not be covered with a glass, or it will rot them. To have the plants flower 
well, they should be kept very dry when not in a growing state, which will throw them into bloom." 
{Bot. Cult. 95.) 
416. Strophanthus. From <rT^i(pou, to turn or twist, and av^og, a flower ; in allusion to the manner in which 
the segments of the corolla are twisted together before expansion. A most beautiful genus of tropical shrubs, 
with bright yellow flowers more or less spotted with red. They require the same treatment as Echites. 
417. Cameraria. So named by Plumier, from Joachim Camerarius, a physician and botanist of Nuremberg, 
who was born in 1534, and died in 1598. He published an edition of Matthiolus, in Latin and German, 
with new figures, and many observations ; but the most celebrated man of the name was Ralph James Came- 
rarius, a German botanist, who published in 1719, a tract, in which the first principles of the arrangement of 
plants by their seeds were propounded. This is a fine flowering genus, of easy culture, and cuttings root freely 
under a hand-glass in a pot of sand. 
418. Taberncemontana. So named by Plumier, in memory of James Theodore, surnamed Tabern£emontanus, 
from Berg-Zabern, the place where he was born. He published " Krauterbuch," and figures of plants in 
1589-90 ; was physician to the Elector Palatine, ^nd died in 1590. This is a genus of easy culture but little 
beauty. All the species root in sand under a hand-glass. 
419. Amsonia. So named by Clayton in his Flora Virginiana ; referred to Tabernaemontana by Linnajus, 
now separated again. These are pretty plants, which grow in any soil ; and may be propagated by cuttings 
under a hand-glass, or dividing at the root. 
420. Cerbera. A poetical name formed in allusion to the mythological dog Cerberus, whose bite was poison, 
ous, as is the juice of this genus. Ahouai and Manghas are vernacular names of the countries where the spe-
