Hevnka, Roxburgh. In honour of B. Heyne, M.D., 
a German botanist and traveller in India. Linn. 
10, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Meliacex. Ornamental-growing 
trees, about twenty feet high ; they require to be 
grown in loam and peat, and ripened cuttings, 
with their leaves whole, will root in sand, under 
a glass, in heat.

HibbertIa, Anderson. In honour of George Hibbert, 
F.R.S., L.S.,_once eminently distinguished for his 
love of plants ; ^OT a length of time he maintained 
Mr. Niven, a famous collector of plants, at'the 
Cape. Linn 13, Or. 3, Nat. Or. Dilleniaceae. All 
the species of Hibbertia are well worthy of a place 
in every collection of plants; they grow from one 
to three feet high, and succeed best in equal quan- 
tities of sandy loam and peat. Cuttings, put in in 
the same kind of soil, either in spring or summer, 
will root freely under a glass. Synonyme: 1. H.

Hibiscus, Linn. Said to be derived from ibis, a 
stork, which is said to chew some of the spetiesr" 
Xinn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or. Malvaceae. All the spe- 
cies of this extensive genus are very showy flower- 
ing plants, and therefore deserve to be extensively 
cultivated. The shrubby, stove, and greenhouse 
kinds all require the same treatment, growing 
best in a mixture of loam and peat ; and cuttings 
root readily in sand, under a glaxs, the stove kinds 
in heat. H. syriacus thrives well in any common 
garden soil, and is easily increased by layers, or 
seeds, while its varieties may be grafted one on the 
other, or they may be raised from cuttings planted 
under a hand-glass. The hardy herbaceous kinds 
are particularly showy; they are marshy plants, 
and require to be grown in a rather moist soil, 
with protection in winter. The hardy annuals 
merely require to be sown in the open ground. 
The tender biennials and annuals require to be 
sown in pots, and treated as other tender annuals 
and biennials. The petals of H. rosa sinexisis are 
astringent, and a few species, such as H. sabdariffd 
and surattensis, are slightly acid. Synonymes : 1.

Hieracium, Linn. From hierax, ahawli ; being sup- 
posed to sharpen the sight of birds of prey. Linn. 19, 
Or. 1, Nat. Or. Compositae. An extensive genus of 
pretty flowering plants ; the dwarf herbaceous kinds 
are remarkably adapted for rock-work, or the front 
of flower-borders, the taller kinds at the. back ; they 
may either be increased by seeds, or divisions. H, 
fruticosum is readily increased by cuttings in mould, 
under a glass. The annual species need only be 
sown in the open border. Synonymes: 1. H. ver-
