Landolphia (Landolphe, commander of a W. African expedition). Apocynaceae. About 60 species
of hairy or glabrous shrubs, mostly climbing by specialized tendrils, of Trop. and S.E. Afr.and
adjacent islanda,probably not regularly cult. Lvs opposit, varying in size; stipules wanting:fls.
mostly white or yellowish, small to medium-sized, rarely as much as 2 in. long in bud, in corymbs
or panicle; sepals 5 free or connate at base; corolla salverform with a short more or less
cylindrical tube, the lobes 5; stamens included; ovary entire,1-celled; stigma conical, 2lobed:fr. a
globose or pyriform body, sometimes large.some of the species are sometimes mentioned in
horticultural literature but do not seem to be listed by dealers in ornamental plants. Most of them
are rubber plants. See Cyclo. Amer. Agri.c., Vol. II, p. 559.

Lamiums maculatum (L. album and L. purpureum, L. variegatum). Straggling or half- trailing
perennial, the tips ascending, slightly hairy: lvs. long-petioled (except the uppermost),
cordate-ovate, blunt, round-toothed: fls. 1 in. long, ascending in the clusters, the upper lip strongly arched or hooded, the tube 2-3 times longer than the calyx, hairy within. Eu. —Fls. usually
purple-red, but sometimes varying to white (when it is known as L. album, but the L. album of
botanists is a different plant, having pointed and sharp-toothed lvs.). The lvs. are usually whitish
blotched along the midrib (var. variegatum), and in this form it is common about old gardens,
trailing in the waste places. The plant is also run wild. L. purpureum of the botanists is annual (see suppl. list below).

{{Inc|
Lamium (Greek for throat, referring to the shape of the corolla). Labiatae. Dead Nettle. Annual
and perennial herbs of the Old World, of which several run wild in this country as weeds and
others are cultivated as hardy border plants.
Botanically, Lamium is distinguished by a 2-lipped corolla, of which the tube is somewhat longer
than the calyx, the upper lip ascending and concave, and the lower one 3-lobed: stamens 4, in 2
pairs, ascending under the upper lip: fls. in axillary or terminal whorls, often rather showy: lvs.
opposite, mostly crenatedentate and petiolate: calyx awl-toothed.—Low herbs, of some 40 species
in Eu., N. Afr. and Asia.
Lamiums are diffuse mostly pubescent or hairy herbs, commonly decumbent at the base and often
almost trailing. They are of the easiest culture in any open soil. Useful for rockwork. The
cultivated kinds are perennial, and are commonly propagated by division.

It now consists of the single species '''''Lagunaria patersonia''''', commonly known as the '''Pyramid Tree''' or '''Norfolk Island Hibiscus'''. It is howevever not a true ''[[Hibiscus]]'', but does belong to the same plant family, [[Malvaceae]]. Its seed capsules are filled with irritating hairs giving rise to an another common name "Cow Itch Tree". The "cow" part however appears to be a [[misnomer]].

{{Inc|
Lagerstroemia indica (L. chinensis). Crape Myrtle. Figs. 2060, 2061. Glabrous, smooth- and
brown- barked shrub, with rather small (2 in. long) elliptic or oblong sessile mostly acute lvs.:
panicle open, sometimes minutely pubescent; fls. usually bright pink, but there are blush, purplish
and white forms; calyx not ribbed, glabrous or nearly so. Widely cult. in India, but probably native
to China. —Grown everywhere in the S. Atlantic and Gulf States for its profuse summer bloom,
and sometimes it has escaped. The crape myrtle is of the easiest cult. The old bushes bloom
profusely, but the plant will produce fls. the first year from seed. The seeds start readily in spring if sown in boxes in autumn and are not allowed to dry out. It is also prop. readily by cuttings of ripe wood. The bloom may be increased by cutting back so that fresh growth is secured. The plant may be grown in a tub or pot in a cool greenhouse, and will bloom 2 or 3 times a year if it is cut back. It has no special soil requirements. In the N. the root may survive if it is well protected, and strong shoots will arise that give bloom the same year. Sometimes the plants are lifted in autumn, carried over winter in a cellar and planted out in spring. As the crape myrtle blooms almost continuously for a period of 2 or 3 months (beginning in June far S.), it well repays what care may be given it under glass or in regions where it is not fully hardy.

From [[China]] and [[Japan]], ''Lagerstroemia indica'' is an often multistemmed, [[deciduous]] tree with a wide spreading, flat topped, open habit when mature.

The [[bark]] is a prominent feature being smooth, pinkinsh-gray and mottled, shedding each year. Leaves are small and dark green changing to yellow and orange in autumn.

Flowers are white, pink, mauve, purple or carmine with crimped petals, in [[panicles]] up to 9cm.

Lagerstroemia indica is [[frost]] tolerant, prefers full sun and will grow to 6 metres with a spread of 6 metres.

Many hybrid cultivars have been developed between ''L. indica'' and ''L. faueri''

It is a strong-growing shrub, reaching a height of 10-35 ft., deciduous-lvd., producing an abundance of soft fringed and showy fls. in summer. The normal form has pink fls., but varieties with blush, white and purple fls. are not uncommon. It is hardy as far north as Baltimore, but north of that latitude it needs protection; even with protection it cannot be grown north of the Long Island region. I. speciosa is very little grown. Neither species seems to thirve in S. Calif. The many other promising species of Lagerstroemia appear not to have been intro. commercially in this country.

'''''Lagerstroemia''''' ('''crepe myrtle''' or '''crape myrtle''') is a genus of about 50 species of [[deciduous]] and [[evergreen]] [[tree]]s or large [[shrub]]s native to eastern [[Asia]] and [[Australia]] in the ''[[Lythraceae]]'' family.

Grown mainly for their [[flower]]s, ''Lagerstroemia'' have sinewy, fluted stems and branches with [[bark]] that sheds each year, giving it a mottled appearance. The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite, simple, with entire margins, and vary from 5-20 [[centimetre|cm]] (2-8 [[inch|in]]). The leaves provide autumn colour.

Flowers are borne in summer in [[panicle]]s of crinkled flowers with a crepe-like texture. Colours vary in shades of pink, mauve and white. The [[fruit]] is a capsule, green at first, then ripening to black. It opens along six or seven lines, producing teeth much like those of the calyx, and releases numerous small winged seeds.

The [[lumber|timber]] of some species has been used to manufacture bridges, furniture and railway sleepers.

''Lagerstroemia'' species are used as food plants by the [[larva]]e of some [[Lepidoptera]] species including ''[[Endoclita]] malabaricus''.

The '''Common Crape-myrtle''' ''Lagerstroemia indica'', from [[China]] and [[Korea]], was introduced to the [[United States]] by [[France|French]] [[botanist]] [[Andre Michaux]] ''ca.'' 1790 to [[Charleston, South Carolina]], where it is today a very common ornamental shrub raised and cultivated in South Central [[United States]], and is growing in popularity.

The '''Giant Crape-myrtle''' ''Lagerstroemia speciosa'', from tropical [[India]], is a tree which is established only in the warmest areas of the US, such as [[Alabama]], [[Arizona]], [[California]], [[Georgia (U.S. state)|Georgia]], [[Louisiana]], [[Oklahoma]], [[New Mexico]], [[Texas]], and surrounding states.

Both species are becoming more prevalent in the home owners landscape designs as well as commercial industries for businesses and municipalities along roadways, highways and byways. They both have become so common it is sometimes almost impossible to tell them apart without laboratory testing.

The genus is named after the [[Sweden|Swedish]] merchant Magnus von Lagerström, who supplied [[Carolus Linnaeus]] with plants he collected.

{{Inc|
Lagenaria (Latin, lagena, a bottle). Cucurbitaceae. Gourd. Calabash Gourd (the true calabash is
Crescentia). Probably one species, although several specific names have been given to the
various forms: a tender tendril-vine, producing hard-shelled fruits in very many forms that are
used for ornament and in the making of utensils; and the rampant vine makes a good temporary
screen or cover.Plant musk-scented, with a sticky feeling, monoecious or dioecious: fls. solitary, white, funnelform, very soft in texture, withering in the sun; staminate fls. on very long, slender stalks (usually exceeding the lf.); pistillate fls. mostly short-stalked, with three 2-lobed stigmas and hairy ovary: tendrils forked, long and slender: st. striate-grooved, soft-hairy: lvs. large, soft-pubescent, cordate-ovate or reniform-ovate, sometimes angled, the edges obscurely apiculate-sinuate, on prominent or long petioles. L. leucantha, Rusby (Cucurbita Lagenaria, Linn. C. leucantha. Duch. L. vulgaris, Ser.), is widely grown in tropical countries and is often spontaneous; probably native in Trop. Afr. and Asia. To this species belong the gourds known in this country as Hercules' club, sugar-trough, dipper, snake, calabash, bottle, miniature bottle, depressa, and others: see Gourd. Vol. III. In some countries, the young fr. is said to be eaten as we eat summer squash.Lagenaria is a tender annual, which should receive the culture of squashes. The season in the
northern states and Ont. is often too short for the full maturity of the frs., particularly if seeds
have been brought from the S. Give a quick warm soil and sunny exposure. In the N., seeds may
be started inside in pots, or on inverted sods, after the manner of cucumbers. The lagenarias are
rampant growers, often running 30-40 ft., and covering the ground or a fence with a dense mass of
large, roundish, soft lvs. It is exceedingly variable in its fr., and has received many species-names as L. microcarpa, R.H. 1855:61; L. clavata; L. pyrotheca, R.B. 23, p. 198; L. virginalis, white-fruited, G.C. III. 11:85; var. longissima, Gt. 48, p. 159; L. verrucosa, Hort., with ball-shaped very warty fr.. Gt. 39 (1890), p. 106. L. verrucosa var. Giordaniana, Hort., is a form with warty pear-shaped fr. The hard shells of the frs. are used for drinking-cups, water-jugs, and many domestic utensils. From the pear-shaped shell of a small-fruited form the Paraguayans drink their famous mate, or Ilex tea. Some of the commonest forms are shown in Fig. 2059. The long curved
forms are often called snake gourds in this country (not to be confounded with snake cucumber,
which is a Cucumis). These are sometimes several feet long. The form with a constricted middle is
the bottle gourd. The grooved musical instrument in Spanish Amer. known as guira, guichara or
caracho, is made from the gourds (marimbo) of this plant. The South African calabash pipes are
derived from this plant and not from Crescentia.

Laeliocattleya

{{Inc|
Laeliocattleya (compounded from Laelia and Cattleya). Orchidaceae. A name proposed by R. A.
Rolfe to designate the bigeneric hybrids of Laelia and of Cattleya, which readily hybridize. The
species of the two genera have eight and four pollen masses respectively, while the hybrids are
irregular in this respect. Many of the plants are natural hybrids, and many others have been
produced by artificial crossing. For a list of laeliocattleyas, see Rolfe in G.C. III. 6:78, 155. In the following account L. —Laelia; Lc. —Laeliocattleya; C.— Cattleya.
The cultivation of laeliocattleyas is the same as for laelia and cattleya. It is therefore important to know the parentage in each case, from which one may know whether warm or coolhouse
treatment is needed. Many laeliocattleyas are of such a vigorous constitution that they are nearly
always in growth.
