Monnieria, Spiranthera, and Ticorea.— The first has only one species, trifolia, 
white-flowering annual of no beauty, discovered in Guiana and Brazil, requiring 
i ie common treatment of tender annuals. For the culture of Spiranthera odora- 
i ssima, refer to Galipea. Seven species of Ticorea are described, and two of them 
re now not uncommon in our stoves. T. fcetida and T. jasminiflora are both 
eserving of cultivation ; in their native countries, Guiana and Brazil, they are 
reputed to possess fine medicinal properties. Neither of them emit a pleasant 
reagrance, but, especially the former, is very disagreeable when the leaves are 
raised. 
The cultivation of Ticorea differs in nothing from that recommended for Galipea, 
xcept that less shading is required, and in propagation ripened cuttings are used, 
I istead of being only little more than half ripe, as there recommended. 
The above eight genera constitute the First Group or Tribe Cusparieaj, from 
heir agreement, in several important characters, with Galipea Cusparia, the type 
' f the old genus Cusparia. 
Choisya — ternata is the only species known, and is a beautiful evergreen shrub, 
[rowing from six to eight feet high. It was found in the dense woods of Mexico, 
nd was introduced in 1825. Its culture is the same as Galipea. 
Esenbeckia. — Two species, E. febrifuga and pilocarpoides, have been described, 
nd probably both have been introduced. The culture is the same as Galipea, 
xcept that the cuttings are made of the young, instead of ripened wood. 
Evodia. — This genus, which contains three species, require exactly the treatment 
if Esenbeckia. 
Geigera, Hortia, Melicope, Metrodorea, and Pilocarpus, form the Second 
i-roup, called Pilocarpeal All these are treated alike in cultivation, and are well 
leserving of a place in the stove. 
Tribe 3 — Boroniea; — is composed of plants from the neighbourhood of Australia, 
dome are old and well-known inhabitants of our greenhouses, as the species of 
Boronia — “Magazine of Botany,” vol i., t. 173 ; vol. iv., t. 267 ; vol. viii., t. 123 ; 
vol. ix., t. 123 — and Correa — “M agazine of Botany,” vol. vii., t. 79 and 195; 
vol. ix., t. 267 ; and the present volume, t. 147. Others, however, are less known, 
ilthough some of them have been many years in the country, as Crowea, the subject 
)f the present plate, Chorilcena, Cyanothamnus, Diplolcena, Didymeria, Eriostemon, 
Hugelia, Phebalium, Philotheca, and Zieria. 
The whole of these genera require, with a few exceptions, the same kind of 
reeatment in culture. These exceptions arise from the difference in structure and 
aardihood of the various species. Some of them are very beautiful, and indeed the 
greater part deserve extensive cultivation. The two species of Diplolcena, it is true,
