glass. The hardy kinds, where the soil will suit 
them, are well adapted for the front of shrubberies, 
and require the same kind of soil as the greenhouse 
speeies. It is usual to increase them by layers; 
but cuttings root readily in sand, under a glass. 
All the kinds may be raised from seeds,

the species of this genus. Linn. 17, Or. 4, Xat. Or. 
LeguminoscE. A very elegant plant, resembling the 
Sutherlandia frutescens when in flower ; it attains 
the height of eight or ten feet ; it grows well in an 
equal mixture of loam, peat, and sand ; it does best 
when planted in the border of the conservatory, and 
will also flourish against a south wall when pro- 
tected from frost and cold ; cuttings root in the 
kind of soil recommended for growing it, when 
placed under a glass.

in an equal mixture of peat and loam, and cuttings of 
the young wood root freely in sand, under a glass,

Clitoria, Linn. From clitoris, an anatomical term ; 
a resemblance to the configuration of which has been 
fancied to exist in the flower. Linn. 17, Or. 4, 
Nat. Or. Leguyninosce. The species of this genus 
are mostly climbers, with large elegant pea- 
flowers : they succeed best in a mixture of loam, 
peat, and sand ; cuttings will root under a glass, 
in heat, but the best method of increasing them is 
by seed, which sometimes ripens in this country. 
The annual species requires the same treatment as 
other tender annuals.
