Linnaeus's Genera Plantarum, which he published in 1789, in which he unadvisedly altered all the names of 
Aublet, without ever having seen the plants. 
515. Billardiera. Named in honor of Jacques Julien Labillardiere, a French botanist, who visited Syria, and 
afterwards New Holland, in D'Entrecasteaux's expedition. His reputation as a botanist was almost annihilated 
by the Prodromus Novffi Hollandiae of Brown. The species of this genus are desirable as climbers for a con- 
servatory, especially B. longiflora, which is a fast grower and an abundant flowerer ; and when in fruit, its fine 
blue berries make a handsome appearance. They thrive well in an equal portion of loam and peat ; and cut- 
tings root readily in sand under a bell-glass : they may also be raised from seeds, which are produced in abund- 
ance. (Bot. Cult. 149.) 
516. ElcEodcndrum. Prom iXoctoc, an olive, and ^evS^ov, a tree ; a tree resembling an olive. E. argam furnishes 
an oil by expression from the fruit as in the common olive : it is used at table by the Moors, and in various 
works by Europeans. The tree is rather tender, and requires protection during winter. 
E. australe, and the stove species, " grow freely in a mixture of loam and peat ; and ripened cuttings will 
soon root in sand under a hand-glass." {Sweet.) 
517. Diosma. From liog^ divine, and sir^',;, smell ; that is to say, a smell divine among the Hottentots, who 
rub their greasy bodies with the powdered leaves of all the species, which they call Bucku. To Europeans the 
smell is unpleasant. This is a genus of handsome shrubs, bearing a general resemblance to heaths, but with 
larger leaves. The flowers are in corymbs at the ends of the branches. D. ericoides, and other species, are the 
kinds chiefly used by the Hottentots to scent the ointments with which they anoint their skin. Young cut- 
tings root freely in sand under a bell-glass. 
518. Adenandra. From a gland, and av/jg avS^aj, a male ; or, in composition of botanical names, a 
stamen ; on account of the appendage of the stamens. This is a very natural genus, easily recognized by its gland- 
ular anthers. Sweet " found it succeed best in sandy peat, but some prefer mixing a little sandy loam with it. 
The young tender tops strike best, made into cuttings, and planted in a pot of sand under a bell-glass : it does not 
require to be plunged in heat." {Bot. Cult. 127.) 
519. Baryosma. From ^ct^v;, strong, and <jV^<.-/j, smell, in allusion to its fetid leaves. Plants with the habit 
of Diosma. Cuttings root readily, taken off" in ripened wood, and planted in sand under a bell-glass.
