{{Inc|
Hovea (probably A. P. Hove, Polish botanist). Syn. Poiretia. Leguminosae. Ornamental, unarmed or seldom thorny, greenhouse shrubs: lvs. alternate, simple, entire or prickly-toothed, glabrous above, often tomentose beneath; stipules setaceous, minute or none: fls. blue or purple, in axillary clusters or very short racemes or rarely solitary; upper lobes of calyx united into a broad, truncate upper up, the 3 lower ones much smaller, lanceolate; petals clawed; standard nearly orbicular, emarginate: pod sessile or stipitate, the valves at length entirely spreading. — Eleven species, confined to Austral. Best prop, by seeds sown in spring in well-drained pots of sandy peat and placed over a gentle bottom heat. When 2-3 in. high, the points should be pinched out to induce a bushy habit. After they are established, grow in a cool greenhouse with plenty of air. H. celsii, Bonpl. (H. elliptica, DC.). A tall shrub, sometimes 8-10 ft. high: lvs. ovate-elliptical to narrow-lanceolate: fls. blue, in clusters or short racemes, the pedicels often as long as or longer than the calyx. B.R. 280. B.M. 2005. L.B.C. 15: 1488. Gn. 59, p. 178, desc.; 75, p. 225. L. H. B.
