GORDONIA, Ellis. In honour of Alexander Gordon, a
celebrated nurseryman at Mile End, London, who
lived in the time of Miller. Linn. i6, Or. 8, Nat.
Or. TernstromiacecE. This is a genus of elegant
plants, well deserving of extensive cultivation on
account of their large and beautiful flowers. The
plants are hardy enough to stand our British wint
e p in the open air, yet the young shoots often get
injured, owing to the shortness ot our summer not
sulfenng them to ripen the wood, or even to flower
in perfection; they should therefore be treated as
greenhouse plants. The best soil for them is peat,
mixed with a little loam; they are readily increased
by layers, or cuttings in sand, under a
glass. G. I-iit7naioxyion requires to be grown in th«
stove; and cuttings of the ripened wood will root
in sand, under a glass, in heat. Synonyme: I.

and a moist heat suit all the species best. Cuttings
of the s-hrubby kinds, if not too ripe, will root
treely in a light soil, under a glass; they mav also
be increased by seeds. The annual and biennial
species should be sown in pots in spring, and placed
in heat, and when the plants are of sufficient size,
thev should be planted singly into small pots, and
