HIBÎSCUS, L i n n . Probably derived from ibis,
a stork, because that bird is said to eat some
of the species. Linn. 16, Or. 8, Nat. Or.
M a l v à c e oe . All the kinds bear very showy
flowers, and therefore deserve to be extensively
cultivated. The shrubby, stove, and
greenhouse species all require the same treatment,
growing best in a mixture of loam
and peat ; and cuttings root readily in sand,
under a glass, the stove kinds in heat. H.
s y r i a c i i s thrives well in any common garden
soil, and is easily increased by layers, or
seeds, while its varieties may be grafted one
on the other, or they may be raised from
cuttings planted under a hand-glass. The
hardy herbaceous kinds are particularly showy :
they are marsh plants, and require to be
grown in a rather moist soil, with protection
in winter. The hardy annuals merely require
to be sown in the open ground. The tender
biennials and annuals must be sown in pots,
and treated as other tender annuals and
biennials. The petals of H . r ò s a s i n é n s i s are
astringent, and a few species, such as / / . sabd
a r t f f a and s u r a t t é i i s i s , are slightly acid. S y -
