but most probably a man’s name. Linn. 12, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. MyrtaceoB. This plant is well worth cul- 
tivating for the sake of its beautiful foliage, inde- 
pendently of its handsome large flowers ; for culture 
and propagation, see Psidium.

The well-known Walnut-tree is among the species 
of this ornamental genus. They are all tall, stately 
erowing trees, well adapted for parks and lawns. 
They grow freely in any rich loamy soil, and are 
raised from seeds. J. cinerea is esteemed anthel- 
mintic and cathartic. Synonyme : 1. J. hetero-

JuNcus. Linnaeus derived the name, from jungo, to 
join ; in allusion to the first ropes being made from 
rushes. Linn. 6, Or. 1, Nat. Or. Juncaceee. All 
the species of Rush do best cultivated in a moist 
situation, some of them entirely in water, and 
others in a peat soil; they may be increased by 
seeds, or dividing the roots. In Japan, they culti- 
vate J. ^usus for making floor-mats. Synonymes :

JoNiPEKUS, Linn. Derived from the Celtic, juni- 
perus, rough, or rude ; in allusion to the stiff habit 
of the shrubs. Linn. 22, Or. 13, Nat. Or. Coniferce. 
This genus is too well known to need to be par- 
ticularised here. All the species will grow in 
sandy loam, and some in any common garden soil, 
as J. Sabina. They are mostly raised from seeds, 
though cuttings will strike when planted in a 
t 173 1 
sheltered situation, under a hand-glass. The sti- 
mulating and diuretic powers of the Savin (J. 
Sabina) are well known. The berries of J. com- 
munis are well known for the flavour they give to 
gin. Synonymes: J. canadensis. 2. J. nana. 3.

de Jussieu, demonstrator of plants in the Royal 
Gardens at Paris, and uncle of the celebrated 
Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. Linn. 10, Or. 1, 
Nat. Or. Onagracece. Rather obscure aquatics, 
growing freely in a pot or tub of water, and readily 
increased by cuttings. The biennials are raised 
from seeds. Synonymes: 1. J. acuminata. 2. J.

JustIcIa, Linn. In honour of J. Justice, an eminent 
Scotch horticulturist and botanist. Linn. 2, Or. 
1, Nat. Or. Acanthaeex. An extensive, highly 
interesting and ornamental genus of plants, which 
mostly flower very freely. The stove and green- 
house shrubby and herbaceous kinds, grow well in' 
any light soil, or loam and peat mixed, and may be 
multiplied by cuttings in sand, under a glass, the 
stove kinds in heat. The seeds of the annual and 
biennial kinds must be raised in pots, in a hothouse, 
or hotbed frame, and when transplanted, treated as 
other tender annuals and biennials. The flowers, 
leaves, and roots of J. Adhatoda are said to possess 
antispasmodic qualities. J. Ecbolium is supposed 
to be diuretic. J . paniculata is the base of the 
French bitter tincture called Drogue Amhre, which 
is highly valued for its stomachic and tonic pro- 
perties. Synonymes: 1. J. quadrcCngularis. 2. J. 
Jlavicoma. 3. eustuchiana. 4. oblongata. 6. tine-
