the plants generally become exhausted, and are only of two 
or three years duration. 
It grows from one to three feet high, and flowers most part 
of summer if planted out in the flower borders, but it will 
not withstand the winter, and therefore should be raised from 
seeds every other year, which, as it produces them freely, is 
by far the best way to obtain strong healthy plants. 
The seeds should be sown about March or April, and 
treated like those of other half-hardy perennials, potting them 
off when large enough. As they are subject to damp during 
winter, more especially if watered over head, it is necessary 
to cover the surface of the pots with silver sand, and to place 
them in a dry airy place secure from frost. 
I may take this opportunity of stating that the Eurychiton 
adensis of Graham’s catalogue of Bombay plants, last page, 
a plant collected at Aden by Dr. Heddle, is a species of 
Statice, as I have ascertained from a specimen kindly com- 
municated by Mr. Nimmo.
