HOVEA CELSL 
stand in a light airy situation in the greenhouse, and they will grow and flower 
well with due attention to watering, &c. Cuttings taken when the wood is mid- 
dling firm, root freely in a pot of sand under a bell-glass. All who are accustomed 
to propagate New Holland plants, are well aware how necessary it is to guard 
against damp ; it is of importance then to water them with much pains, and when 
any quantity of vapour has condensed on the inner surface of the glass placed over 
them, to wipe it quite dry with a clean linen cloth. As seeds frequently mature 
in the greenhouse, they are much more easily increased by them than by cut- 
tings : the seed should be sown early in the spring, or immediately after it is ripe. 
The generic name is given in honour of Mr. Antony Pantaleon Hove, a Polish 
botanist, and traveller in Crimea and Persia.
