Periploca Fr.; Schlinge, Ger. Derivation. From peripleko, to wrap about ; in allusion to the twining stems. Gen. Char., &c. Corolla rotate. Throat furnished with 5 awned scales, which alternate with the segments of the corolla. Filaments distinct. Anthers cohering, bearded on the back; pollen masses applied to the dilated tops of the corpuscles of the stigma, solitary, or composed of 4 confluent ones. Stigma almost mutic. Follicles cylindrical, much divaricate, smooth. Seeds comose. (Don's Mill., iv. p. 163.) — The hardy species are natives of the south of Europe, the north-west of Asia, or the north of Africa. Twining glabrous shrubs. Leaves opposite, shining. Flowers subcorymbose, interpetiolar; of easy culture in common soil, and propagated by cuttings of the root or shoots, or by layers. 1. P. GRÆCA L.

Du Hamel that the odour of the flowers is considered unwholesome, and even dangerous, to those who are long exposed to it. In the Gard. Mag., vol. ix. p. 586., Mr. Godsall, nurseryman, of Hereford, mentions that he has seen the pavement of an arbour over which a plant of Periploca græ'ca was trained, and in full flower, literally covered with dead house-flies, which appeared to have fallen from the blossoms, apparently killed by some deleterious property contained in them. The capability of extension of this plant is proved by one in the Cambridge Botanic Garden having been trained, by means of a jack chain, as high as the branches of one of the trees of Sophòra japonica, mentioned in p. 565. as being 50 ft. high, and which was clear of branches to a considerable height. When twined round a tree, the periploca forms a deep identation in the bark. (See Mag. Nat. Hist., vol. vi. p. 331.)

Leaves veinless, narrow-lanceolate, glabrous, persistent. Cymes trichotomous. Flowers purplish inside, pale yellow beneath and round the mouth, with a white spot in the middle. Leaves 1 in. long. (Don's Mill., iv. p. 163.) A twining shrub, a native of Tunis, on Mount Schibel Jsekel ; and of the Island of Lampedosa, at the sea side, near Laodicea. An ornamental plant, which was introduced in 1800, and is quite as hardy as P. græ'ca. It is rare in British collections. 1 P. lævigata Ait. ; P. punicæfolia Cav. Icon., 3. t. 217. ; is a twining evergreen shrub, a native of the Canary Islands, which was introduced in 1779; and, though generally kept in green-houses, would live through the winter against a south wall, with protection. The half-hardy species of Periploca, being deciduous, may be pre 1089 served through the winter with much less care than many other tender trees and shrubs. CHAP. LXXIX. OF THE HARDY AND HALF-HARDY LIGNEOUS PLANTS BELONGING TO THE ORDER BIGNONIA'CER. The genera belonging to this order which contain hardy species are, Bignònia, Técoma, and Catálpa, which are thus distinguished : Bigno'NIA Tourn. Calyx 5-toothed. Dissepiment of the fruit parallel. TECOMA Juss. Calyx 5-toothed. Dissepiment of the fruit contrary. CATA'LPA Juss. Calyx 2-parted. Dissepiment of the fruit parallel. GENUS I. BIGNONIA Tourn. The TRUMPET FLOWER. Lin. Syst.
