Aegle marmelos, Correa (Crateva Marmelos, Linn. Belou Marmelos, W. F. Wight). Fig. 129. The bael fruit of India. A handsome tree native to N. India, but widely cult. throughout the Peninsula as well as in Ceylon, Burma, Siam and Indo-China. The trifoliolate lvs., borne on wingless petioles, are thin in texture, probably owing to the fact that they are deciduous. Although not so hardy as the deciduous trifoliate orange of China and Japan, the bael fruit tree is said to endure a considerable degree of cold (20° F. or lower) in the drier parts of N. W. India. The fr. is greenish yellow, globular, or nearly so, varying from 245 (usually 4-5) in. in diam. The fr. of the wild tree is considerably smaller than that of the cult. form. The hard shell, 1/8in. thick, is filled with the pale orange, aromatic pulp in which occur 10-15 long, narrow cells containing the seeds imbedded in transparent tenacious gum. These cells correspond to the segnis. of an orange, while the pulp is made up of the pith and the greatly thickened fleshy membranes separating the cells. I11. Roxb., Pl. Corom., pl. 143. Wight, Ic., pl. 16. Bedd., Fl. Sylv., pl. 161. Benth. & Trim., Med. PI., 55. Bonav., Oranges and Lemons of India and Ceylon, Atlas, pl. 242, 243. The ripe fr. is much esteemed by the Hindus, many of whom consider it the best of the citrous frs.; the European residents in India often become very fond of it.

Watt says (Dict. of Econom. Prod, of India, 1:123): "The fruit, when ripe, is sweetish, wholesome, nutritious, and very palatable, and much esteemed and eaten by all classes. The ripe fruit, diluted with water, forms, with the addition of a small quantity of tamarind and sugar, a delicious and cooling drink." The famous botanist, Roxburgh, says (Flora Indica, 2:580): "The fruit is nutritious, warm, cathartic; in taste delicious, in fragrance exquisite; . . ."

On the other hand, W. R. Mustoe, Superintendent, Government Archeological Gardens, Lahore, India, writes (in a letter to D. G. Fairchild, dated Lahore, Dec. 3, 1908): "The fruit is greatly prized for eating by the natives, but can scarcely be looked upon as palatable to the white man except as a sherbet; . . ." Sherbet is made from the mashed pulp, which is diluted with a little water, and then strained into milk or soda-water and sugared to taste. Sometimes a little tamarind is added to give a subacid flavor. All Indian medical authorities agree that the bael fruit has a most salutory influence on the digestive system. The ripe fruit is mildly laxative and is a good simple remedy for dyspepsia. The unripe fruit is a specific of the highest value for dysentery, but so mild that it can be given to children without danger. The bael fruit tree is widely cultivated in India, and is found in nearly every temple garden. It is dedicated to Siva, whose worship cannot be completed without its leaves. This promising fruit tree is now being tested at several points in the warmer parts of the United States.

Aechmea

2009-07-02T02:08:47Z

Irenet:

{{inc|
Aechmea (from aichme, point; referring to the rigid points on the calyx). Bromeliaceae. Epiphytic herbs, of about sixty species, natives of tropical South America, grown in choice greenhouse collections.

Flower-cluster arising from a cluster or rosette of long, hard lvs. which are serrate; petals 3, tongue- shaped, obtuse or pointed, 2-3 times the length of the spine-pointed calyx-lobes; stamens 6, shorter than the petals; ovary inferior, 3-celled. The fls. are subtended by (in the axils of) fl.-bracts; the entire head or fl.- cluster is often reinforced or subtended by conspicuous lf.-bracts; in the compound-infl. types, the individual branches are usually subtended by branch-bracts. In some species, as A. Lalindei and A. Mariae-Reginae, the large colored lf.-bracts are the most conspicuous part of the plant. In others, as A. Veitchii, the entire head is the showy part. Monogr. by Baker, Journ. Bot. 1879:129, 161,226. Includes Canistrum, Echinostachys, Hohenbergia, Hoplophytum, Lamprococcus, Pironneava, Pothuava; and some of the species have been referred to Billbergia, Cryptanthus, Guzmannia, Tillandsia, Chevaliera, and others.

The aechmeas are closely allied to the billbergias, from which they are distinguished by smaller flowers, which are little exserted from the calyx and not widely expanding, short filaments and small anthers, sharp-pointed sepals and conspicuous sharp-pointed flower-bracts.

For culture, see Billbergia.

{{Inc|
Adlumia (from John Adlum). Fumariaceae. A hardy biennial vine, which climbs over high bushes in moist woods: fls. with the petals united into cordate-ovate corolla which ultimately encloses the small, few-seeded pod.—Sow seed in spring in a damp, cool place. Transplant m fall, if possible, if transplanted at all. It does not flower the first season but remains low and bushy. It will not tolerate open sun or windy situation.

}}

The '''Allegheny vine''' is a [[herbaceous]], creeping, [[flowering plant]], also known as '''Climbing Fumitory'''. It is closely related to the Fumitory [[genus]], ''[[Fumaria]]'', but is classed in its own genus, '''''Adlumia''''', which is [[monotypic]]. '''''Adlumia fungosa''''' is also called ''A. cirrhosa'', and ''Fumaria fungosa''.

The Allegheny vine is a biennial climbing plant with very slender stems. The leaves are several times pinnately divided, prehensile, and feathery in texture. The white or pinkish flowers grow in large clusters and like grains of rice. The plant grows on wet and wooded slopes, and is native to North America, particularly the [[Allegheny Mountains]] area.

The genus name derives from [[John Adlum]] ([[1759]]-[[1836]]), a surveyor, associate judge, plantsman and agriculturist who ran an 80 ha (200 acre) experimental farm in [[Georgetown, Washington, D.C.]] The species name ''fungosa'' means 'spongy' in [[Latin]].

(December 1898) "Revision of the Bermuda Ferns" ''Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club'' 25(12): pp. 593-604, p. 595</ref> It is also the most prolific fern on the island.<ref>[http://bermuda-online.org/flora.htm "Bermuda's Flora" ''Bermuda Online'']</ref><ref name="Phillips">Phillips-Watlington, Christine (1996) ''Bermuda's Botanical Wonderland: a field guide'' Macmillan Education, London, ISBN 0333606523 </ref><ref name="Rugg">Rugg, Harold Goddard (January 1912) "Random Notes on Bermuda Ferns" ''American Fern Journal'' 2(1): pp. 16-18</ref> It is only found on Bermuda and surrounding islands; however the [[IPNI]] reports it also found in [[Guyana|Guiana]].<ref>[http://www.ipni.org/ipni/idPlantNameSearch.do?id=17009070-1&back_page=%2Fipni%2FeditSimplePlantNameSearch.do%3Ffind_wholeName%3DAdiantum%2Bbellum%26output_format%3Dnormal "Adiantaceae ''Adiantum bellum'' Moore" ''The International Plant Names Index'']</ref>

Bermuda Maidenhair Fern is deciduous. In the wild it grows in crevices, on cliffs and under rock ledges, in roadside verge, and terrestrially on hillsides. It does require moisture and shade, and is often prolific near streams if in well-drained sites.<ref name="Phillips"/><ref name="Rugg"/><ref name="Gilbert">Gilbert, Benjamin D. (December 1898) "Revision of the Bermuda Ferns" ''Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club'' 25(12): pp. 593-604</ref> The delicate [[frond]]s grow to 5-30 cm long, and are fan-shaped, light to medium green with black stems ([[Stipe (botany)|stipes]] and [[rachis]]es).<ref>Moore, Thomas (1879) ''Gardener's Chronicle'' 2<sup>nd</sup> series, 11: 172 f. 24</ref><ref name="Gilbert"/> Benjamin D. Gilbert described a variety of ''Adiantum bellum'' which he called ''walsingense''<ref name="Gilbert"/>; however, it is believed that this is just a variety produced by better soil and moisture conditions.<ref name="Rugg"/>

Bermuda Maidenhair Fern is sometimes grown in gardens; however it is not hardy and does better indoors.<ref>Taylor, Earle W. (October 1963) "A Fern Garden at the Fresno Museum" ''American Fern Journal'' 53(4): pp. 159-165, p. 163 </ref>

Adiantum farleyense, being a sterile species, must be propagated by division. It requires the treatment recommended for adiantums in general with the exception of a much higher temperature, 65° to 70° at night and 75° to 80° during the day. The variety Glory of Moordrecht has the great advantage of producing fertile epores and it also thrives in the lower temperatures recommended for general adiantums. It gives promise of being one of the most useful varieties for decorations and cut-fronds use, as the fronds are very much hardier than typical A. Farleyense and will compare well with such kinds for standing as A. cuneatum, A. hybridum and A. Croweanum.
