Bnhaminacea. This is a genus of very beautiful 
and singular plants, all deserving a place in every 
collection. I. natans should be grown in a large 
pot of water, in rich loamy soil, in a warm part of 
the stove, and increased by seeds sown in spring. 
I. scapiflora thrives well in a light rich soil, with 
careful watering in winter. The frame species 
should be sown on a gentle hotbed in spring, and 
when about two inches high, they may be planted 
out into the open border. The seeds of the hardy 
kinds should be sown in the open border in a shady 
situation. Synonyme ■ 1. bijlora.

the shrubby kinds of which are well worthy of { 
cultivation. The stove and greenhouse shrubby 
kinds thrive best in a mixture of sandy loam and 
peat, and may be increased without difficulty by 
cuttings of the young wood planted in sand, under 
a glass, in heat. The annual and biennial kinds 
must be raised from seeds sown in a hotbed in 
spring, and when the plants have grown a sufficient 
height, they' may be planted singly into pots, and 
treated as other tender annuals and biennials. The 
powdered leaf of 1. Anil is used in hepatitis. Indigo 
is produced from various species of this genus, 
especially from I. iinctoria. Synonymes • 1. /. tinc~
