Trees and shrubs : an abridgment of the Arboretum et fruticetum britannicum : containing the hardy trees and schrubs of Britain, native and foreign, scientifically and popularly described : with their propagation, culture and uses and engravings of nearly all the species. Trees; Shrubs; Forests and forestry. I. ieANUNCULA^CE^ : CLE'mATIS. 3 small, seldom seen divested of its envelope, as that never bursts till after it is committed to the soil. — The species are included in four sections ; viz. Flaramula, ViticcUa, Cheiropsis, and jlnemoniflora. Root strong ; the fibres rather straight, and not very much branched ; ex- tended in the soil rather horizontally than perpendicularly. Stem hgneous, not rigid enough to stand erect. Branches the same, and slender. Well adapted for covering bowers, or for ornamenting verandas or trelliswork. The greater number of the species ripen their seeds in England, and are easily propagated by them, or by layers. The seeds retain their vitality for several years; they are of slow vegetation, and ought to be sown as soon as gathered, in which case they will generally come up the following spring; though, some- times, not till the second spring. All the species require support by piops of some kind ; and all, with one or two exceptions, grow freely in any soil that is tolerably dry, but more especially in one that is calcareous. From the acridity of these plants, they are not very liable to be attacked by insects; nevertheless, snails and slugs are occasionally found eating their young herbage. § i.
