Ampklygonum, Lindley. From ampelos, a vine, and 
gonu, a joint; in allusion to the stems. Linn. — , 
Or — , Nat. Or. Polygonacece. This plant has lately- 
flowered in the garden of the Horticultural Society, 
where it has been raised ’.from seed received from 
Dr. Falconer of Saharunpur. It forms a spreading 
herbaceous plant, from one and a half to two feet 
high, with ovate-lanceolate, acuminate, stalked 
leaves, and with small heads of yellowish-white, 
fleshy flowers, which are succeeded by a black, 
succulent fruit. This latter circumstance has led 
to the establishment of a new genus, to which a 
name indicating its grape-like fruit has been as- 
signed.

Amphicome, Royle. From am phi, around, and kome, 
hair; in allusion to the seeds. Linn. 14, Or. 2, 
Nat. Or. Bignoniaceas. An elegant perennial, pro- 
bably hardy enough to stand out, if planted in any 
dry situation, or on rock-work, and protected during 
winter from the wet and most severe frost by a 
hand-glass. It is very impatient of wet even in 
summer, and requires to be kept particularly dry 
during winter; it thrives best in a loamy soil, with 
a small portion of sandy peat added, and may be 
increased by seeds or cuttings. The seeds should 
be sown in February, in a loamy soU, and placed in 
the greenhouse. Cuttings of the young shoots 
strike at any time from March to September, but 
rather slowly.

plants only require to be sown in the open ground, 
about the beginning of May, in a dry, warm, 
sheltered situation. They are not worthy of culti-
