Cult. The whole of the species of this genus are very orna- 
mental, and deserve to be cultivated in every garden. The 
annual and biennial sorts may be all sown in open flower- 
borders, where they will flower and ripen their seed: if sown at 
several different times through the summer a succession of 
flowers may be kept up, until the frost destroys them. Many of 
the species will continue to bloom throughout a mild winter, if 
the seeds are sown in August. The shrubby species are well 
adapted for ornamenting rock-work, or the front of flower-bor- 
ders, as they flower profusely. Cuttings of these will root 
freely if planted under a hand-glass in common garden mould, or 
they may be increased by seeds. The two green-house species 
I. Gibraltdrica and I. semperfldrens, grow freely in any light 
rich soil, and young cuttings planted in the same sort of soil un- 
der a hand-glass will root freely.

—A small annual plant, with narrow, obtuse, runcinate, rosulate, 
radical leaves, and a few linear-lanceolate entire, rather stem- 
clasping cauline ones, one under each branch or raceme.
