It must be kept constantly in the stove, and may be increased by cuttings easily. The soil should be rich loam.

It evidently differs from the fruticosa, being perfectly smooth in all its parts: the young branches are pendulous, and the leaves undulated. It is much slower also in its growth, and seems scarcely to increase excepting by seeds, which have not yet been produced here. The soil should be peat and loam. No. 915. ASPHODELUS CRETICUS. Class.

Considerable pains have been taken by botanists to re- model this genus and those related to it, but though much talent has been evinced, the results are not so satisfactory yet as could be wished : we have therefore retained it as a Mespilus, which genus is at least practi- cally distinguished from the others of this family.

The flowers appear in May: they have a very delicate smell, and continue long in perfection. It increases sparingly by loam, and must be preserved constantly in the greenhouse. In the beginning of the summer the leaves decay, after which they should be kept without water till autumn, when they begin to come up again. Хо. 921. MARANTA BICOLOR. Class.

It flowers during the summer months, the blossoms opening & few at a time, and continuing in succession for a long while; but the principal beauty in this species, as well as in the M.

It must be constantly preserved in the stove, and is increased by dividing the roots: the should be rich loam, mixed with a — of peat. In beginning a new year, it is not un- usual to lay down plans and schemes, few indeed of which perhaps ever yield the happiness we expect from them.

There is a good figure of the plant in his Commentary on Dioscorides, with a long description, which assigns numberless medical virtues to it. It is a native of Austria, Italy, and Siberia, growing in moist and shady places on mountains. ЈЕ is recorded to have been cultivated by Gerarde, in his garden, but has never been plentiful.
