H ABENaRIA, Willdenorv. From habena, a rein, 
or thong ; in allusion to tne long strap -shaped 
spur. jLinn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Orchidacece. This 
is a genus of interesting plants, well deserving of a 
place in every collection. The hardy kinds will 
grow well in the open border, with a slight protec- 
tion for the American species in severe, frosty, or 
rainy weather. The stove species grow best in a 
mixture of leaf-mould and peat, placed in a hot, 
damp part of the house when in a growing state; 
but like the genus Bletia, after the plants have lost 
their leaves, and the roots become dormant, they 
require to be kept cool and dry until the roots 
begin to push, when the plants should be repqtted, 
and again placed in a hot and moist heat. They 
are all increased by divisions of the roots. Syno- 
nyme: 1. Orchis foliosa.

Habitat, habitation, locality, native country. 
Hablitzia, Bieberstein. In honour of C. VonHahlitz, 
a traveller, and author of Travels in the Crimea. 
Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. ChenopodiaceoB. We know 
nothing of this plant ; indeed, it is very possible it 
is not in the country. It may be increased by cut- 
tings, or seeds.

Habkanthus, Herbert. From Aairos, delicate, and 
anthos, a flower. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Ama- 
ryllidacem. All the species of this genus are pretty 
when in flower. A mixture of three parts sandy 
loam, and one part peat, suits the various species 
of this genus. They may be increased by offsets 
from the roots, or by seeds, which are frequently 
produced in abundance.

A very ornamental plant, with beautifully -veined 
leaves ; the soil best adapted to it is a mixture of 
loam and peat, and cuttings of the young. wood root

sandy loam, mixed with a little peat. They do 
not require to be watered when in a dormant state, 
in consequence of which, the bulbs ripen, and 
afterwards flower freely ; increased by offsets,

HjEMATOxifLdN, Linn. From haima, blood, and x.v/ora, 
wood ; logwood is well known for its red colour. 
Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nat Or. Leguminosae. The logwood 
tree attains the height of twenty feet; it grows 
well in a mixture of loam, peat, and a little sand, 
and it may be increased by cuttings in sand, in 
heat, under a glass, or by seeds, which are very 
frequently received in this country from the West 
Indies. The bark and the wood are slightly astrin- 
gent. The wood is chiefly used in dyeing.

Or. Proteaceae. A genus of very desirable New 
Holland plants ; they require to be grown in a soil

It is necessary to drain the pots well, so that the 
plants are not injured by too much water. Cuttings 
of the ripened wood root without diflaculty in sand, 
under a glass.
