The derivation of this generic term is given at 
length under No. 177. Banksise, in honour of the 
Lady of the late Sir Joseph Banks. 
This delightful specimen of Chinese beauty may 
be expected to originate a new feature in the exter- 
nal embellishments of the English villa. Its freedom 
of growth, and flowering, make it highly desirable. 
A single bud of it was put into the stem of the com- 
mon China Rose, in May last ; and in September it 
had made a well-branched shoot, seven feet nine 
inches long. The China Rose was then detached 
from the wall, against which it was trained, extend- 
ed on the border, and the various branches that had 
grown from the bud were separately laid in small pots 
of soil, in the manner of carnations. In nine weeks 
afterwards they were separated from the parent plant, 
and turned into an open bed, with each a hand-glass 
over it, where they now, (January) remain, strong 
healthy plants, fifty-six in number. 
The art that produces such advantages must be 
valuable, we, therefore, concisely state the manual 
operation of Budding ; and precautionary advice 
will appear at a future opportunity.
