240 GREEN-HOUSE — REPOTTING. [March. 
is very like the flower vulgarly called Morning-glory. (Soil 
No. 4.) 
Lipavias, about five species, much esteemed for their beauty 
of foliage ; leaves ovate, lanceolate, downy or woolly ; flowers 
yellow, leguminose and capitate. L. sphseriea, L. tomentdsa, 
L. villdsa and L. sericea are the finest. L. vistlta and L. 
viUosa are the same, although put in many catalogues as 
different species. None of them ought to be much watered 
over the foliage, as it adheres to the down, and causes the 
young shoots to damp off. Drain the pots well, and keep the 
plants in an airy situation. (Soil No. 6.) 
Lobllias. Several of them, when well treated, form pretty 
flowering plants ; they are principally herbaceous. The genus 
consists of about eighty species ; seventy of them are exotics ; 
many of them natives of the Cape of Good Hope, with little 
flowers of brilliant colours. L. cserulea, L. Thunbe/yfi, L. 
cori/mbbsa, L. pyramidalis, L. erines, and L. illic\fblia, are 
very fine species, of weak growth, but flower freely. (Soil 
No. 4.) 
Lonicera japdnica. There is a plant in our collections 
known by that name, which is now Nintoda longijiora ; flowers 
of a straw-colour, but come out white. It has been known 
to withstand the winter, but does not flower, and is fre- 
quently killed entirely ; is a fine climber, and much esteemed 
in the South for its fragrance. (Soil No. 3.) 
Lojihospermxim scdndens. This is a magnificent climbing 
soft-wooded shrub, with rosy purple, campanulate flowers, 
which are produced from the axils on the young wood ; they 
bloom from May to September; leaves large, cordate, and 
tomentose ; grows rapidly, and flowers abundantly. (Soil 
No. 3.) 
Lychnis coronata is an esteemed Chinese plant ; flowers 
in abundance, pentapetalous, large, and a little indented at 
the edges; colour a red-like orange; flowers terminal and 
axillary. A good method of treatment is to divide the roots, 
and plant some of them in the garden; they will flower well, 
and could be lifted in the fall, and put under protection. If 
not done so, plant them in four-inch pots, and repot them 
into those of six-inch in May. Do not expose them while in 
flower to the mid-day sun, for it will deteriorate the fine 
orange-colour. (Soil No. 9.) 
Lysinhnas, four species, closely allied to Epdcrls. In
