Almost all the species of this genus are very
handsome flowering plants, producing racemes
of very beautiful pea flowers, particularly
adapted for flower-borders, or rock-work. They
grow freely in a light rich soil, or loam and
peat, and the herbaceous kinds are increased
by dividing the roots in spring, or by seeds.
The seeds^f the aimual and biennial, kinds
only require sowing in the open border in
spring. Synonymes: 1, II. sihiricum ; 2, II.

H e í m i a , Link. In honour of Dr. Heim, a celebrated
Berlin physician. Linn. 11, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. LytJiracem. These plants are very
pretty when in blossom ; they grow well in an
equal mixture of loam and i)eat, with a littlesand.
They only require to be protected fromfrost
in Avinter, which may easily be done if
the plants are against a south wall; if in pots,
they should be removed into the greenhouse.
Cuttings strike freely either in "sand or soil,
under a glass. Synonymc: 1, Neséa mlwifolia.

1, Nat. Or. Olacacece. This is a tree which
attains the height of about fifteen feet, and i.s
cultivated in a mixture of loam, peat, and
sand ; and cuttings will root in sand, under a
glass, in heat. The wood of this tree is the
partridge-wood, or Bois Perdrix, of the cabinetmakers.

to mean the collar of a horse ; in reference to
the appearance of one part of the flower opposed
to the other when viewed front-wise.
Limn. 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. OrcUdacem. The
relationship of this plant is evidently greatest
to Tricliopllia] it is, however, also closely associated
with Aspasia, from which it differs in
not having the lip united to the column, and
in its deep-fringed anther-bed. All these are
•stationed in a sub-division of Vdndece, to which
Dr. Lindley pro])osed to give the name of
Brdssidoi. Eor culture, &c., see TrichopUia,

Yery pretty tallish-growing plants, w^ell adapted

any common garden soil. The herbaceous
species may bo increased by dividing the roots.
The annuals and biennials require the same
treatment as is generally given to such species.

This is a very showy, free-flowering
¿^enus of plants, comprising some of the prettiest
little shrubs in cultivation, for ornamenting
rock-work. In winter, some of the species
require the protection of a frame or greenhouse,
iind on that account require to be grown in
pots ; they all thrive well in a mixture of
sandy loam and X)eat. The shrubby kinds
anay be increased by cuttings, under a handglass,
in a sheltered situation, or by seeds, by
which the annual species are also to be raised.
