Class IV

- TETRANDRIA. 4 STAMENS.

THIS class is neither so large nor so important as the last. It is composed chiefly of ornamental or curious plants, mostly shrubs, of which the Proteaceæ hold the first rank. Among the few plants used in the arts which it contains, may be mentioned the madder (Rubia), Fuller's thistle (Dipsacus), the holly (Ilex), one of the best evergreen hedge plants; and some foreign timbers and dyes, as the sandal-wood and chayroot.

The Proteaceæ, of which the first section of the class partly consists, are natives chiefly of the Cape of Good Hope and New South Wales and there is this singular circumstance connected with their geographical distribution, that those two continents do not possess any one genus in common; a singular fact, and of the more difficult solution, as the genera of the order are strictly natural. They have been described by Mr. Brown, in a long and learned memoir, in the Transactions of the Linnean Society, vol. x., where much information respect- of the , vol. x., where much information respecting them may be found. It has been impossible to state the natural height or color of flower of many of the New Holland kinds, as Mr. Brown says nothing upon these two points; and he is the only author who has seen the plants in their native country, where alone many of them have flowered. In the conservatory they are mostly shrubs of from four to seven feet in height.

The principal part of the fourth section of Monogynia consists of the Stellatæ or Crossworts, which are common weeds all over Europe. Many of the genera in the sixth section, such as Ixora, Pavetta, Catesbæa, are beautiful ornaments of the conservatory. The wood of Curtisia in the seventh section furnishes the Caffres with materials for the shafts of their hassagays.

With the exception of Proteaceæ, the class is made up of a miscellaneous assemblage of species, with few characters in common. The genera have not been combined in any other than a purely artificial manner, and among them are to be found plants belonging to almost all the natural orders of Dicotyledonous plants of the older French botanists. Pothos, Potamogeton, and Ruppia are among the rare instances of a quaternary division of the flower in Monocotyledonous plants. Order 1. MONOGYNIA. 4 Stamens. 1 Style. 1.

From πετρoς and φiλεω, to love rocks, in allusion to the places in which it is found growing in a wild state. Stiff shrubs, with smooth leaves of various kinds. Heads of flowers ovate or oblong, terminal or axillary. Ripened cuttings root in sand under a hand-glass. 230. Isopogon. This genus consists of stiff shrubs, with smooth, flat or filiform, divided or entire leaves. Heads terminal or rarely axillary. Flowers sometimes closely imbricated in a globose cone, sometimes clustered in a common flat receptacle which is somewhat involucrated; they thrive best in a soil composed of onethird loam, a third of peat, and a third of sand. The pots must be well drained, and ripened wood may be chosen for cuttings which will root in sand and a little earth under a hand-glass. They must be uncovered fre. quently, and the glass wiped, as they are liable to damp off if kept too close. (Sweet.) 231. Protea. A mythological name of Proteus the son of Ocean and Thetis, who assumed various forms upon various occasions, to whom this genus, once equally variable in its forms, has been likened. It, as Sweet observes, thrives best in a soil composed of "light turfy loam, mixed with rather more than one-third of fine sand; the pots must be well drained with broken potsherds to prevent them from getting soddened with too much water; the roots are also very fond of running amongst the small bits of sherds. Care must be taken not ORDER I.

Ripened cuttings taken off at a joint, and pared quite smooth, will strike root if planted thinly in pots of sand placed under a hand-glass, but not plunged the glasses must be often taken off to give them air, as they are very liable to get the damp amongst them, which soon spreads if not cleaned off, and destroys them ; water them regularly whenever they want it, but not over the leaves, and let them get a little get a little dry before the glasses are placed over them again. Some of the kinds root very soon, others are a long time before they root. The quickest rooting kinds I have met with are P. cordata, cynaroides, amplexicaulis , grandiflora, acerosa, nana, and acaulis. P. mellifera also roots very quickly sometimes. The same treatment will agree with several other genera belonging to this family, as Leucospermum, Spatalla, Sorocephalus, Leucadendron, and Aulax. (See Bot. Mag. No. 1717. Bot. Cult. 244.) There are several kinds in cultivation, and published in Knight's Proteeæ, which have not been retained here; because, as they are not acknowledged by Mr. R. Brown, it is probable that they are not distinct from some which are here enumerated." G TETRANDRIA MONOGYNIA.

The species seldom flower, and are remarkable more for the beauty of their foliage than blossoms, which are disposed in long spikes, usually of a greenish color. 247. Banksia. So named by Linnæus, in honor of Sir Joseph Banks, Bart., Pres. R. S., a distinguished promoter of the study of natural history, and of science in general: he died in 1820. This is an elegant genus, and to be grown well requires a soil composed of equal parts of peat, loam, and sand. The pots must be well drained; and the following is the mode recommended by Sweet: "Place a piece of potsherd about half way over the hole at the bottom of the pot, then lay another piece against it that it may be hollow, afterwards put some smaller pieces all round them, and some more, broken very small, on the top of these. All plants belonging to the Proteaceæ should be drained in the same manner, as the roots are very fond of running amongst the broken potsherds; and there is not so much danger of their being overwatered; care must be taken not to let them flag for want of water, as they seldom recover if allowed to get very dry; they should also be placed in an airy part of the green-house when in doors, as nothing is more beneficial to them than a free circulation of air. Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult to root, but they will root readily if properly managed: let them be well ripened before they are taken off; then cut them off at a joint, and plant them in pots of sand without shortening any of the leaves, except on the part that is planted in the sand, where they should be taken off quite close; the less depth they are planted in the pots the better, if they only stand firm when the sand is well closed round them; then place them under hand-glasses in the propagating house, but not plunge them in ORDER I.

Plants raised in this way have better roots, grow faster, and flower sooner than plants raised from seeds. In raising them from seeds they should be sown in the same kind of soil as the plants are grown in, and placed in the green-house; or if it is in summer they will come up sooner if placed out in the open air; they will soon make their appearance, when they should be potted off in small pots, for if left in the seed-pots too long they are apt to die, and are more difficult to move with safety." (Bot. Cult. 147.) 248. Dryandra. Was named by Mr. R. Brown after the famous Jonas Dryander, whose catalogue of the Banksian library would alone be a monument of talent and industry, if his high botanical acquirements had been unknown. This genus is allied in character and habits to Banksia. It thrives best in very sandy loam and peat in well drained pots. Cuttings made from ripened wood taken off at a joint before they begin to push, planted in sand without shortening any of the leaves, and covered with a glass, wiil root without difficulty. The pots should not be plunged, and as soon as the cuttings are rooted they must be potted off, as the sand is apt to injure their roots. Place them afterwards in a close frame or under hand-glasses till they strike root afresh, and then harden them by degrees. (Sweet.) 249. Struthiola.
