Eomecon. Papaveraceæ.
Seeds; also by division.
Epacris. Epacrideæ.
Grown from tip cuttings in a frame in winter, with bottom heat. The cuttings root very slowly.
Ephedra. Gnetaceæ.
Layers may be made from young shoots or branches.
Epidendrum. Orchideæ.
The tall-stemmed section of this genus is increased by cuttings, the section with short, thick pseudo-bulbs by division. The former also occasionally produce viviparous flower-scapes, thus affording a ready means of increase. (See under [Orchids].)
Epigæa. Ericaceæ.
Increased with great difficulty by careful divisions of established plants, and by layers. Seeds, when obtainable, can be used, but are slow to develop.
