Gardoqoia, Ruiz and Pavon. In honour of Don 
Diego Gardoqui, a Spaniard, who greatly promoted 
the publication of the Flora Peruviana. Linn. 14, 
Or. 2, Nat. Or. Labiates. These plants are well 
worthy of cultivation, on account of their large 
showy flowers, especially G. Hookeri. A mixture 
of equal parts of sand, loam, and peat, suits the 
species well ; and cuttings root readily in the same 
kind of soil, under a glass.

during his travels. Linn. 21, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Gar- 
ryaceas. This is described as being an ornamental 
shrub, very similar in appearance to Viburnum, 
and said to be the greatest botanical curiosity in 
all Mr. Douglas’s collections. It prefers a loamy 
soil, and may be readily increased by layers.

Gasteria, Haworth. Derived from gaster, the belly ; 
alluding to the enlarged base of the flowers. Linn. 
6, Or. 1 , Nat. Or. Liliacecs. These plants are all ex- 
tremely interesting, and remarkable for producing 
~ their leaves, more or less regular, in two rows. 
Sandy loam, a little leaf-mould, and peat, well 
mixed together, with a small quantity of brick rub- 
bish, is the best compost for them; and being of a 
very succulent nature, they require to be only very 
moderately watered at any time, particularly when 
not growing. 'They all increase from suckers, or 
leaves, which will produce young plants from their 
base, as Furcresa and Aloe. Synonymes : 1. longi-
