bot. 866 Bauh. pr. 34.t.34 Bot. mag. 512 Bot. mag. 691 Bot. cab. 485 2612 2611 2615 Jac. sch. 3. t. 336 2617 2609 2613 History, Use, Propagation, Culture, 2620 produce plenty of pods from August till the end of September. They may be also raised under hand-glasses, and in very warm situations treated as common annuals. C. cerasiforme is sometimes cultivated for the same purposes as the common capsicum. 454. Leea. Named after the first James Lee, of the Hammersmith Nursery, an excellent cultivator and most worthy man. The plants have little more beauty than a hemlock. Cuttings root easily under a handglass in heat. 455. Spermadictyon. From σπερμη, seed, and δiκτuov, a net, on account of the manner in which the seeds cover the placenta. A pretty stove plant with sweet white flowers. 456. Dentella. A diminution of dens, a tooth; the divisions of the corolla having each three little teeth. 457. Macгocпemum. From μaκρoς, long, and vημa, a stamen. 458. Exostemma. From εξ, out, and στεμμa, a crown, in allusion to the protrusion of the stamens; one of the characters on account of which the genus has been separated from Cinchona. The genus Cinchona, which was so named after the Countess of Cinchon, who being cured by the use of this plant, first brought it into notice, is very nearly related to this, and is a most important genus, as furnishing the Peruvian or Jesuit's bark. The bark is taken from various species; but that which produces the best is said to be C. officinalis, a native of Peru, and not yet introduced to this country. The Jesuit's bark tree of Jamaica is the Exostemma caribæum, but land there is too valuable for its culture. Our species are not very common in collections, being of slow growth, and not very easily propagated. Sweet ORDER I.

Burchellia. Named by Mr. Robert Brown, after William Burchell, a traveller in the southern part of Africa, from whom we have two volumes of travels, and the promise of other works hereafter. The species is a beautiful dwarf shrub with scarlet flowers in terminal clusters. 460. Rondeletia. Plumier established this genus in memory of William Rondelet, a scientific physician, whose attention was chiefly occupied by fishes and algæ. He was born in 1507, and died in 1566. Rabelais ridicules him under the name of Rondibilis. He is said to have given a disgusting proof of his fondness for anatomy by dissecting his own son. 461. Coutarea. So named by Aublet from its vernacular name in Guiana, Coutari. A most beautiful plant, requiring the utmost heat of the stove; but very rare in gardens, if it indeed exists in cultivation at all now. 462. Portlandia. In honor of the Duchess of Portland, once a famous patroness of botany. Splendid plants of the natural order Rubiaceæ. Portlandia grandiflora is common and easily grown. P. coccinea is perhaps not in the country, although stated to have been introduced in 1775. 463. Campanula. A diminution of campana, a bell; on account of the form of the corolla, which resembles a little bell. Rapunculus is a diminution of rapa, a radish, in allusion to the nature of its root. C. speculum is so called because the corolla in its form resembles a little round and elegant mirror (speculum), whence in M 2 PENTANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
