GARDENIA

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 459 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GARDENIA , in botany, a genus of the natural order
Rubiaceae
 , containing about sixty species of
evergreen
  trees and shrubs, natives of the warmer parts of the old world. Several are grown in stoves or greenhouses for their handsome, sweet-scented
white
 
flowers
 . Thh
flowers
  are developed singly at the end of a branch or in the
leaf
 -axils, and are funnel- or
salver
 -shaped with a
long
  tube. The
double
  forms of Gardenia florida (a native of China) and G. radicans (a native of Japan) are amongst the most beautiful and highly perfumed of any in cultivation. Gardenias are grown chiefly for cut flowers, and are readily propagated by cuttings. They require plenty of heat and moisture in the growing season, and must be kept free from
insects
  such as the mealy bug, green fly, red spider and scale-
insect
 .
