Rhopala. The vernacular name of one of the species found in Guiana is Roupala.

Banksia So named by Linnseus, in honor of Sir Joseph Banks, Bart., Pres. R. S., a distinguished pro- moter of the study of natural history, and of science in general: he died in 1820. This is an elegant genus and to be grown well requires a soil composed of equal parts of peat, loam, and sand. The pots must be'well drained ; and the following is the mode recommended by Sweet: Place a piece of potsherd about half way over the hole at the bottom of the pot, then lay another piece against it that it may be hollow, afterwards put some smaller pieces all round them, and some more, broken very small, on the top of these. All plants belong- ing to the Proteaceaj should be drained in the same manner, as the roots are very fond of running amongst the broken potsherds; and there is not so much danger of their being overwatered ; care must be taken not to let them flag for want of water, as they seldom recover if allowed to get very dry; they should also be placed in an airy part of the green.house when in doors, as nothing is more beneficial to them than a free circulation of air Cuttings are generally supposed to be difficult to root, but they will root readily if properly managed : let them be well ripened before hey are taken off; then cut them off at a joint, and plant them in pots of sand without shortening any ot the leaves, except on the part that is planted in the sand, where they should be taken ofl quite close; the less depth they are planted in the pots the better, if they only stand firm when the sand is well closed round them; then place them under hand-glasses in the propagating house, but not plunge them in](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21495725_0114.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
