History, Use, Propagation, Culture, respondent of Linnaeus: he died in 1763. Horse-weed, Amer. The species are American plants of easy cultivation. 64. Cat a! pa. The Indian name Die Trompetenblume, Ger. C. syringifolia, H.K. is the Bignonia catalpa, /,.; a low-spreading, rather singular looking tree, with succulent shoots easily injured by winds or severe frosts. It ■equires a sheltered situation and plenty of room. The leaves are large and come out late; the flowers are white, shewy, and are succeeded by long pods, but they seldom appear in this climate. One of the oldest catalpas is England is in Gray's Inn gardens, said to have been planted there by Lord Bacon. C. longissima is an ele- gant upright tree, known in the West Indies by the name of French oak, and the French call it chette-noir. 65. Ghinia. In honor of an Italian botanist, named Ghini, who founded several botanic gardens. 66. Fontanesia. So named by Billardiere, in honor of M. Desfontaines, the excellent professor of botany at the Jardin du roi at Paris. It is rather a tender shrub, requiring shelter in severe weather. It grows in com- mon garden soil, and is increased by layers or by cuttings in sand under a hand-glass. 67. Linociera. Named after Geoflroi Lmocier, a French physician. A tropical genus of shrubby plants, pro- pagated by cuttings, and of little beauty in a cultivated state. 68. Ancistrum. From mxir^n, a hook. Its calyx is terminated by little hooks. These are small herbaceous plants with pretty foliage, but no beauty in their flowers. They are only cultivated as objects of curiosity, and are seldom seen. 69. Omus. In Greek, chinas, from a mountain. The tree grows on mountains. La Frene a flairs, Fr. Die Bluhende Esche, Ger.; and Frassmo florido, ItaL O. europsa, P.S. is the Fraxinus omus, L. O. rotun- difoiia, or the manna ash, abounds in the skirts of the mountains in Calabria. From the middle of June to the end of July the manna gatherers make an incision across the bole of the tree, which they deepen the second day, inserting a maple leaf, so as to form a sort of cup to receive the gum as it distils from the incision. Some- times bits of reed ot twigs are applied, on which the manna oozes out, and drying with the sun, forms tubular
