its lobes being rounded. In Cedronella mexicana, on the con- 
trary, the leaves are usually acuminate, those next the 
flowers are wedge-shaped at the base; their under surface, 
not being downy, is covered all over with little open pits: 
the tube of the corolla is much longer than the calyx, and 
its lobes are acute. 
Hitherto it has been treated as a greenhouse plant, but it 
may prove hardy enough for bedding out in a flower garden in 
summer. If so, and as it appears to grow freely in any light 
sandy soil, it will be of considerable use in the flower garden ; 
and even if it is only a greenhouse plant, it is pretty enough 
to be worth growing.
