EndogentE, One of the great divisions of the vegetable world. 
It is that class in which there is no distinction between wood 
and bark, and in which the cellular tissue and what is pro¬ 
perly wood is so mixed as to be scarcely distinguishable; 
hence the popular name, " soft-wooded.” In Endogense 
there are no medullary radiations, seldom any articulation of 
leaves with the stem, and the veins of the leaves pass in 
parallel lines from the base to the apex. It is the first re¬ 
move from mere cellular or cryptogamous plants, and inter¬ 
mediate between them and the Exogense or Dicotyledones, in 
which vegetation assumes the most perfect form. 
Endogenous, Belonging to the class Endogense. 
Enodis. Expressive of the absence of the customary joints or knots. 
Ensate. Ensiform. Having the form of a straight sword. 
CALENDAR FOR SEPTEMBER. 
The arrangement of the flower garden for the next year may 
be considerably simplified by paying attention, at the present 
time, to the general habits, colours, and peculiarities of the va¬ 
rious plants used for decorative purposes. By a selection of those 
most appropriate, a degree of certainty can be adhered to in pro¬ 
pagating a proper number of each of the requisite plants, which 
will tend greatly to economise room in the various plant struc¬ 
tures—a point of importance, even where there is plenty of room. 
If a list of the various plants be kept, and notes taken of the 
height, time, and duration of flowering, colour, and other points, 
a valuable book of reference would be formed, which would be 
found useful in many ways, especially if the various tints were 
done in water colours, so as not to have to depend on words for 
what can hardly be expressed by them. Such a list as this 
should, of course, contain all the newest things, whether observed 
at home or abroad. It should also contain observations on the 
arrangement of colours, with a view to amend or alter their dis¬ 
position in another season. In connexion with this branch of 
the subject, a plan of the garden should be prepared, on which 
the colours may be grouped until a satisfactory arrangement is 
attained; and then the number of plants required for each bed
