JATROPHA, Linn. From iatroSj physician, and

of the plants. Linn, 21, Or. 10, Nat.
Or. Eivphorhiàcece. The species of this genus
are only valuable in a medicinal point of view.
They thrive well in sandy loam and peat, in
small pots, with little water. Most of the
species ripen seed freely if care be taken to
fertilise the stigmas with the pollen. Cuttings
root very readily stuck in the tan, in a
strong heat. The seeds of J . Curcas are purgative
and emetic ; an oil is obtained from
them, which is a valuable external application
in itch. See Janiplta and Si'phònia,

very curious, from the peculiar mode of
dehiscence of its capsule. It grows well in

Or. CiccurUtàcece, .These are splendid plants,
producing their curious and beautiful flowers in
great profusion ; but require a large space
to grow in, and to be frequently pruned before
flowering. They grow well in sandy loam
and a little peat. It is much better to raise
them from cuttings of the flowering shoots, as
they will bloom much earlier ; they will root
without difficulty in soil or sand, nnder a glass,
in heat. S%jnonym& : 1, Telfairia peltàta. Feuillea

This is a very curious parasitical genus,
bearing showy tubular orange-coloured flowers.
ISTotwithstanding its parasitic nature, it will
flourish in a pot filled with turfy peat soil, and
kept in a moist stove ; it does not grow fast,
but is readily increased by cuttings planted in
sand, under a glass in heat. Synonymes: 1,
