EULO'PHTA. (From eulophos, hand-
some crested ; referring to the hand-
some lip or labellum, furrowed into
elevated ridges. Nat. ord., Orchids
[Orchidacese]. Linn., 2Q-Gynandria
l-Monandria. Allied to Galeandra.)

A family of those forms of orchids, which,
like our British species, derive their nutriment
from the ground, and hence are called ground
or terrestrial orchids. An Indian species of
Eulophia furnishes from its tuberous roots the
nutritive substance called salep. Division
of the plant when in a state of rest, just as fresh
growth commences^ peat and loam, both fibry,
and well drained ; well watered when growing,
kept nearly dry when resting. Summer temp.,
60 to 80 6 ; winter, 45 to 55. Those from
Sierra Leone and East Indies require a few
degrees more.

EU'MERUS ^ENE'US. Brassy Onion fly.
Mr.Curtis says the maggots are brown-
ish, and are very rough from a multitude
of rigid bristles, especially towards the
tail. The fly itself is of a reddish ochre
colour, freckled with dark brown, and
there are two spiny processes like short
horns upon the thorax, in the female
at least. It is densely clothed with
short hairs, thickly and distinctly punc-
tured, and of an olive-green colour,
with a brassy tinge; the antennae
(feelers) are entirely black, the seta
naked ; the face is very hairy, simply
convex, and silvery white; eyes dark
brown, and slightly hairy; rostrum
very short; thorax with two whitish
lines down the back. The maggots of
this fly do not seem to be confined to
the onion, for Mr. Curtis bred one in
the middle of May from cabbage roots,
and specimens have been taken flying
about hedges in June and July, in the
neighbourhood of London and Bristol.
As it often happens, the female has not
been observed depositing her eggs ; the
spot that she selects is therefore yet
unknown. Drought does not suit them.

Interesting trees and shrubs in autumn, their
opening capsules looking very beautiful when
other things are losing their attractions. Seeds
may be sown either in autumn or spring ; cut-
tings of ripe young shoots may be planted in a
border in autumn ; common soil. The Ame-
rican species require a moist situation. Those
from Nepaul, though from a high altitude, have
not been proved quite hardy, though it is pre-
sumed they would in many places ; protect
them in winter.

EUPHO'RBIA. Spurge, or Milkwort,
(Named after Euphorbus, physician to

The unripe seed pods of E. lathyrus are the
British capers. A large family, widely differing
in their habits. Hardy annuals may be sown
in the open border, in April ; but with the ex-
ception of plumosa, and a few more, the rest
are not worth ground room. Even the tropical
annuals are little better; they require to be
raised in a hotbed and transplanted. Herba-
ceous perennials are chiefly hardy ; divisions of
the plant, and seeds ; sandy soil ; shrubs and
under shrubs chiefly require a dry stove and
warm greenhouse, and are propagated by seeds
and by cuttings, which should be dried at the
base before placing in any rough loose material.
The species which are firm and hard, require a
rich light loam, with a little peat ; those that
are very succulent, should have a large portion
of lime rubbish and broken bricks. Winter
temp., not much below 45. There are two
sub - evergreen shrubs, natives of England,
Amygdaloides and Charucias, both of which,
and especially the latter, do well for rockwork.
Spinosu, from the south of Europe, did well in
the Botanic Garden at Cambridge.
