The name of this genus alludes to the tumid shape of the legume, which swells from a narrow base upwards according to the primary signification of гomфob, a word thence used to signify a narrow base upwards; according to the primary signification of γoμφoς, a word thence used to signify a club or wedge, or any thing formed upon a similar principle. Delicate plants, difficult to preserve, requiring a large proportion of sand in the peat, and moderate watering. Young cuttings root under a bell-glass in sand. 955. Burtonia. A genus defined in the Hortus Kewensis, without an explanation of the origin of the name. This plant, Sweet observes, requires more than ordinary treatment to keep it in good health ; an equal mixture plant, Sweet observes, requires more than ordinary treatment to keep it in good health; an equal mixture of very sandy loam and peat is the best soil for it, and the pots to be well drained with small potsherds, that the water may pass off freely, as nothing is more injurious to it than too much water. Young cuttings are not difficult to root, planted in sand under a bell-glass; it may also be raised from seeds, which are sometimes produced. (Bot. Cult. 156.) 956. Jacksonia. Named after Mr. Jackson, formerly librarian to Aylmer Bourke Lambert, and an excellent practical botanist, of whom too little is known. Young cuttings will root in sand under a bell-glass, or ripened ones under a hand-glass. botanist, of whom too little is known. Young cuttings will root in sand under a bell-glass, or ripened ones under a hand-glass. 957. Viminaria. From vimen, a twig. The appearance of the species which have no leaves is that of a bundle of naked twigs.

Sphærolobium. From σφaiρa, a sphere; the pods being nearly spherical. See Jacksonia. 959. Aotus. From a, privative, and ωτa, ears, in allusion to the want of the appendages to the calyx in this genus. In Pultenæa, to which it is most nearly allied, they are very distinct. 960. Dillwynia. Named by Sir James Edward Smith, after Mr. Lewis Weston Dillwyn, whose labors upon Confervæ and other parts of British botany are well known. These plants being liable to suffer from wet, the pots must be well drained with sherds and refuse peat siftings. Young cuttings root freely in sand under a bell-glass. 961. Eutaxia. From εuτaξia, modesty, in allusion to the humble, modest appearance of the plant. Mr. Sweet directs to top the plants frequently when young, otherwise they are apt to run up naked and unsightly. 962. Sclerothamnus. From σκληρoς, hard, and θaμvoς, a shrub. The species are rigid plants with stiff hard leaves. 963. Gastrolobium. From yaσης, the belly; or, in botanical composition, something inflated. The pods of the genus are much swollen. 964. Euchilus. From εu, well, and χεiλoς, a lip; well lipped. The upper lip of the calyx is very large. 965. Pultenæa. Named after William Pulteney, M. D., author of a view of the writings of Linnæus, and DECANDRIA MONOGYNIA.
