Cult. The species of Célsia have much the habit of the 
species of Ferbáscum, and like them bear showy yellow flowers. 
The seeds of them should be reared on a gentle hot-bed ; and 
when the plants are of sufficient size they should be set sepa- 
rately in pots, as they require protection of a greenhouse or 
frame the first winter. In May of the second year they may 
be planted out into the open border in any warm, sheltered 
situation, where they will flower and ripen their seed. C. sub- 
lanàta and C. parviflora, being shrubby, will require the same 
treatment as a geranium, or other common greenhouse shrub. 
IV. ISANTHERA (from «soc, isos, equal; and av@npa, 
anthera, an anther ; in reference to the stamens being 5, and 
equal.) Nees, in Lin. trans. 17. p. 82.
