Cult. This is a pretty little 
plant ; succeeds best in peat soil, 
and if planted out in a moist 
situation, will grow and flower 
freely. It is increased by divid- 
ing at the roots.

Lin. syst. Octándria, Tetragýnia. Calyx 4-parted. Petals 
4, spatulate, with their nerves pinnate and branched towards 
the apex. Stamens 16, only 8 of which are antheriferous, these 
are subulate or setaceous, and tapering at the apex; the 8 
sterile ones are flattened, obtuse, shorter and broader ; anthers 
cordate, 2-celled, 2-lobed at the base: cells confluent at the 
apex. Ovarium bluntly 4-sided, 4-celled, with 4 furrows, 
which are opposite the dissepiments. Style very short, or 
wanting ; stigma 4-lobed : lobes dilated, obtuse, and pruinose. 
Capsule tetragonal, having the angles drawn out a little at the 
apex into 4 tubercles, 4-celled, 4-valved; cells prominent, de- 
hiscing by a longitudinal suture, many-seeded; dissepiments 
formed from a double lamina. 
smooth, mutic.— Perennial herbs, natives of Chili, beset with 
simple, deciduous hairs. Leaves lyrate, nearly like those of the 
turnip, reticulately veined; lobes roundish, toothed : terminal 
one large, cordate, obtuse, sinuately toothed; teeth terminated 
each by a gland. Flowers red, terminal, copious, in spicate ra- 
cemes, which are disposed in a panicle; pedicels 1-flowered.

3 F. ramòsa (D. Don, in edinb. phil. journ. Oct. 1826.) plant 
caulescent; leaves petiolate; racemes spicate, erect; calycine 
segments lanceolate, obtuse, nerveless; lobes of stigma cuneated. 
y. F. Native of Chili, near Santiago. Herb erect, branched, 
hairy. Stem furnished with small, petiolate, simple, deeply- 
toothed leaves. Radical leaves not seen, but they are probably 
lyrate. Flowers smaller and more numerous than in the rest 
of the species, neither are they secund, but disposed on every 
side of the racemes, erect; petals obovate, obtuse. Fertile 
filaments 4 times longer than the flattened, obtuse, sterile ones. 
Style distinct, but very short; stigma 4-lobed; lobes cuneated, 
emarginate, or 2-lobed, thick, with revolute margins. 
Branched Francoa. Fl. Jul. Aug. Clt. 1831. Pl. 2 to 3 ft. 
Obs.—The Panketinctdria of Molina belongs to a very dis- 
tinct genus from Francoa. $ 
Cult. The species of Francòa are beautiful plants when in 
flower, and deserve a place in every garden. A mixture of 
peat and sand is the best soil for them; they should be grown 
in pots, well drained with sherds, to prevent their rotting. The 
protection of a frame is sufficient for them in winter; or they 
may be planted out in the open ground, in a warm sheltered 
situation, where they will probably survive the winter by a little 
protection. They are only to be increased by seeds.

sinuately toothed ; recesses broad, obtuse, mucronulate. Scape
