CLÉTHRA, Linn. From JcMJira, the Greek name
of the alder ; on account of the resemblance it
bears to that plant. Linn. 10, Or. 1, Nut
Or. Fricacece. All the species of this genns
are ornamental, growing from two to ten feet
high. The-greenhouse kinds are well suited
for conservatories, succeeding best in peat
earth, or light sandy loam ; cuttings taken
off, not too ripe, will root freely in sand,
under a glass. The hardy kinds, where the
soil will suit them, are well adapted for the
front of shrubberies, and require the same
kind of soil as the greenhouse species. It is
usual to increase them by layers ; but cuttings
root readily in sand, under a glass. All the
kinds may be raised from seeds. Synonymes:
