some of the largest ships have been built, both
at Calcutta and Madras.

distance ; alluding to the great distance from
which its crimson-coloured blossoms are discernible
in its native country. Linn. 4, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Proteacem. This magnilicent plant is
considered to be rather diiEcult of culture. A
light soil, composed of equal parts of sandy
loam and heath mould, with a good proportion
of sand and gritstone, well incorporated, appears
to suit it best. The pot in which it is
grown must be well drained ; and in watering,
care must bo taken never to allow the plant to
flag, nor yet to over-water it. Though it requires
very little water in the winter season,
it must have a good supply in the summer
months, particularly while growing freely. It
should always be kept in a light, airy part of
the house. It may be propagated by cuttings,
in sand, under a glass ; but young plants may
be obtained readier, and with greater certainty,
by layers ; as the plants naturally produce an
abundance of suckers, which may be easily
laid down into small pots, introduced round
the one in which the plant is growing. In
summer, the Warratah succeeds well in an
airy part of the greenhouse, but in winter, it
subsists better in a cool, airy part of the stove,

The species of Tephròsia thrive well
in a mixture of loam and peat, and are readily
increased by seeds, or by young cuttinp
planted in sand, under a glass ; those oi the
stove species, in heat. ''The leaves and
branches of T. toxicària, well pounded, and
thrown into a river or pond, very soou ailect

so as to make them float on the surface as li
dead ; most of the largo ones recover after a
short time, but the greater part of the sinall
fry perish on those occasions. It has been introduced
into Jamaica, and cultivated there on
account of its intoxicating qualities." Synonymes:
