f. 2. certainly do not belong to this genus, and it is difficult to 
say what they really are. 
Cult. All the species of Snap-Dragon are showy, and worth 
cultivating for ornamenting flower-borders and rock-work. The 
species are readily increased, either by cuttings of the young 
branches or by seeds. The 4 first species will require protec- 
tion in winter, by placing them in a frame or greenhouse. A. 
Oróntium, being an annual plant, the seeds only require to be 
sown in the open ground in spring.
