Cult. For the culture and propagation of the annual species 
of this genus, see Microcddon, p. 737. The frame and green- 
house perennial and shrubby species, as Lightfodtia, p. 755. 
The hardy perennial species should be grown in pots, in a mix- 
ture of peat and loam, and kept rather moist; and they are easily 
increased by division.
