. The floral kingdom : its history, sentiment and poetry : A dictionary of more than three hundred plants, with the genera and families to which they belong, and the language of each illustrated with appropriate gems to poetry . Flower language; Flowers in literature. IRE-POKER plant is the familiar name of what is scientifically known as the Tritoma uvaria. Tritoma signifies thrice-cut, in the f original Greek, and is supposed to represent the three sharp edges of the leaf, namely, the two margins and the keel; and uvaria, from the Latin, denotes the not very close resemblance of its raceme of flowers to a bunch of grapes. At a distance, the spike-like raceme looks more like a red-hot poker (whence its very expressi--e nickname), and, with its supporting stalk rises to a height of from two to four feet, nearly one-half being covered with the bloom. The flowers at their first appearance are a bright red, and change through all the shades of that color down to a light yellow, in which they continue the best part of the season. They ai-e conspicuous at quite a dis- tance, and never fail to attract attention by their peculiar manner of growth; near at hand they are no less striking by the ofTensiveness of their smell. The leaves, unlike those of most of the other Liliaceous plants, are narrow and grass-like, looking very much like a large tuft of dark-green pampas-grass; but they make up in numbers for what they lack in width. The Tritomas are often set out as ornamental plants in landscapes, lawns and gardens; but are scarcely ever introduced into the parlor or displayed in the window. This is another of those Cape of Good Hope bulbs that contribute so largely to the diversification of our Flora; and by its hardy habit is easily cared for even in our colder northern latitudes. Placed in a box, with a sHght covering of ea'rth to protect the roots, and an equally light covering of hay or straw for the head, it will survive any ordinary winter in a common cellar; and c
