History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 
1036. Trianthema. From r^ti?, three, and av^og, flower ; the flowers growing by threes in the axilla: of the 
leaves. The species are weeds in their native countries, and of little mterest here. 
1037. Scleranthus. From o-xXvjoos, hard, and av^og, a flower ; when in seed the envelopes of the flower 
appear very much indurated. S. annuus is common throughout Europe and Siberia on a sandy soil. It 
flowers abo'ut the middle of summer, and sows its seeds very abundantly in autumn, vv^hich produce a crop of 
young plants that generally survive the winter, or, if destroyed, are replaced by another crop arising from 
those seeds that happen not to vegetate till spring. {Eng. Bot.) The Swedes and Germans receive the vapour 
arising from a decoction of it into their mouths, to cure the tooth-ache. ( TVithering.) 
S. perennis in several parts of Europe has its roots attacked by the insect Coccus Polonicus, Lin. which 
yields a fine crimson dye, and is said likewise to live on S. annuus and some Potentilla?. Sir J. Smith has "never 
been able to find this insect on these plants in England." {Flora Brit. ii. 283.) 
These two species are occasionally found in abundance upon barren heathy wastes. 
1038. Cunonia. In memory of John Christian Cuno, of Amsterdam, who described his own garden in Dutch 
verse in 1750. This is a handsome tree, with fine shining green foliage, contrasted by numerous dense 
elongated branches of small milk-white flowers, and twigs of a red color : having the habit of a tropical 
rather than of a Cape plant. Its colonial name is Rood Elze (red alder), although the tree has not in any 
point of view the least resemblance to the alder of Europe. 
1039. Hydrangea. From JSi,;^, water, and a^ye/ev, a vessel. The common garden species, H. hortensis, is 
quite a marsh plant, and to be managed well should have a very copious supply of water in summer. A large 
plant will consume ten or twelve gallons daily, in warm weather. 
H. quercifolia is an elegant plant when in leaf ; but as it is barely within the limits of ligneous plants, it dies 
down to the ground on the approach of frost. H. hortensis is much valued on account of the great profu.sion of 
its very elegant flowers, which are monstrous in the same manner as the Viburnum opulus. It has never
