History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
575 Cryptostegia. From ^^uirraj, concealed, and s"s>"'5, a covering. The name was suggested to Mr. Brown 
by the circumstance of the enclosure of the corona within the tube of the corolla, and its not being exposed to 
view, as in the other neighbouring genera. 
576. Hemidesmus. From vipi.i(rvg, half, and litryuoi, a bandage ; in allusion to the incomplete coherence of the 
anthers with the stigma, by which the genus is principally distinguished from Periploca. Cuttings root readily 
in sand in heat. 
577. Secamone. The meaning of this word is very obscure. None of the explanations which have been 
offered of it are even tolerable. Culture as in Periploca. 
578. Microloma, From fJt.ix^o;, small, and Xuf^t-ct, a fringe ; but the application is unexplained by the author 
of the name. Small climbing shrubs, with opposite leaves and interpetiolar umbels. 
579. Sarcostemma. From <r«|xj<9?, flesh, and 5-iiJ.(A.a,, a crown ; on account of the thick succulent nature of 
the coronal processes. 
580. Dcemia. Dsemia appears to be an Arabic name. It has been applied by Forskahl to a species of Asclepias 
referred hither. A genus of twining plants. 
581. Cynanchum. From xvonv, a dog, and ayxuv, to strangle. A word having the same meaning and appli- 
cation as Apocynum. This is a genus of low shrubs and herbaceous plants, for the most part twining, and all 
of easy culture and propagation. 
582. Oxystelma. From o|uf, sharp, and rtXitui, a crown ; the corona being very much pointed. 
583. Gymnema. From -yvixvo?, naked, and y^/**, a thread, or, in botanical language, stamen ; in allusion to
