C h c s i a c c c e . A genus of very fine ornamental
trees, thriving well in a mixture of turfy loam
and peat, and requiring to be kept in a strong
heat. Cuttings of the ripened wood will root
m sand, under a glass, in a moist heat. The
fruit of some of the species is eatable. The
trees yield a yellow viscid juice, hardly distinguishable
from gamboge, and used for the
same purposes by painters. S y n o n y m c s : 1,

STANII5PEA, H o o k e r . In compliment to
Stanhope, president of the J\Iedico-botanical
Society. L i n n . 20, Or. 1, Nat. Or. O r c h i -
d d c e c e . The species of S l a n M j y e a are splendid
])lants when in ilower, ])a]'ticularly S . D e v o n i -
e n s i s and S . t i g r h i a , both of which are at
present rare in collections. The flowers of all
the species arc more or less fi-agi-ant. The following
is the method of cultivating these favourite
plants at Oliatsworth Over the drainagehole
of the pot to be used for large plants, is
inverted one of a smaller size, generally covering
about half the bottom of the pot; above
and around this is carefully thrown a quantity
of broken pots, sufficient to fill tlie remaining
cavity to within one third of the top. A sufficient
quantity of fibrous, moderately-sandy peat
is next selected, and placed on the top of the
drainage, being first broken into various forms
and sizes, but none of them less than a walnut.
In placing these, care is taken to di.q)ose of
each, so as to leave a passage for the escape of
water; this is more eiFectually secured by introducing,
as the process of potting goes on, a
few pieces of broken pots between every layer,
more or less, according to the size of the plant;
indeed, it is an excellent plan to continue a
connexion of broken i)ots all the way up the
centre, to the bottom of the pseudo-bulbs.
After the peat becomes level with the summit
of the pot, the successive external layers are
mada fast by means of small pegs, varying
from four to six inches long : these pegs pene^
trate the layers of peat, and thus secure the
whole firmly together. At eight inches above
the edge of the pot the ])lant is placed on the
to]^, the roots arc carefully laid out, and
covered up to the bulbs very carefidly with
.paaller pieces of peat and potsherds, continuing
to fasten the peat as before described, until
the Avhole is finished ; when it will be a foot or
fifteen inches above the top of the p o t sma l l
plants are not potted so high. "When a single
pseudo-bulb is first potted, it should be but
very slightly raised above the level, and when
a small plant of two or three bulbs is potted,
it should not, at first, be raised more than two
or three inches, but as it grows larger it is progressively
elevated. In building up, as is here
described, with })eat, it does not terminate in
the shape of a cone, but is carried up nearly
square, being merely rounded a little at the
top. Unless the plants are very healthy, water
is given but sparingly at the roots, and in
winter very little or none is supplied : the
great desideratum in the cultivation of Orchidacea3
being t o p r e s e r v e t h e r o o t s , which, by
over-watering, especially in winter, are almost
sure to be destroyed. The general temperature
of the house ranges from 60 to 85 degrees ; in
the afternoon, during the growing season, it is
shut up early, and the paths well watered, and
once or twice a week a little water is sprinkled
over the plants. Tiiey may also be grown
well in open wire baskets filled with fresh
moss and potsherds, the baskets being hung
from the roof of the house, the ilowers are
seen to great advantage. Young plants are
obtained by taking off one or more of the bulbs,
pottin^^them in proper sized pots, in the above
soil, well drained, and placing them in a warm
situation ; being careful, in w^atenng, not to
allow the smallest quantity to rest npon the
young buds. After they have formed roots,
increase the size of the pots, and in other respects
attend to them as before recommended.

Nat. Or. A s c l e ^ n a d à c e m . An extensive genus
of .plants, well worth cultivating for their
grotesque appearance, and their singularly
beautiful starlike ilowers, which have usually a
very fetid smell. The soil best suited for
them is sandy loam and old brick or lime
rubbish. The pots should be well drained, and
the plants at all times carefully watered,
except in winter, when they must be kept
in a perpetually dry state. They are readily
increased by cuttings, "which should, if possible,
be only taken off in spring, when the plants
are dormant. They should bo allowed to dry
for a few days after they are taken from the
mother plant ; after which they may be planted
in separate pots, in the same compost as before
recommended, when they will strike root in a
very short time. S y n o m j m e s : 1, S . d e f l é x a ; %
