Cult. The seeds of these plants only require to be sown in 
the open ground. A light sandy soil suits them best.

tion; form of silicles.) D. C. syst. 2. p. 578. prod. 1. p. 212.

Silique 2-jointed, 2-celled. (f.47.e.) Style compressed, beak- 
formed. Seeds 4, pendulous, oblong, solitary in the cells. An 
herb with a hard woody stem. Radical leaves oblong, tapering 
to the base, velvety with soft starry down. Floral leaves situated 
under the pedicels, and therefore the racemes are leafy. Flowers

Cult. This plant will answer well for ornamenting rock-work, 
or to be planted in pots and placed among other alpine plants ; 
those cultivated by the latter mode should be planted in a mix- 
ture of sand loam and peat, and the pots should be well drained 
with potsherds. Cuttings planted under a hand-glass in the same 
kind of soil will root freely, but if the plant ripen seeds, this 
will be unnecessary. 
LXXXII. STERI’GMA (from ornprypa, sterigma, a fork ;

at the top, f. 50. a.) D.C. syst. 2. p. 579. prod. 1. p. 212.

to the middle (f. 50. a.). Silique roundish, at length separating 
into many joints. Erect perennial herbs, clothed with soft starry 
wool. Roots hard, suffrutescent. Leaves alternate, oblong, 
tapering to the base, sometimes entire, sometimes sinuated or pin- 
natifid. Racemes elongating as they become old; pedicels fili- 
form, bractless. Calyx covered with soft down. Flowers of a 
deep yellow. Siliques covered with short dense down, often 
interspersed with longer stiff glanduliferous hairs.

Leaves less woolly than those of the two preceding species, and 
the pods are shorter, thicker, arched, and more torulose.

Cult. These plants are well 
adapted for ornamenting rock- 
work, but a few plants of each 
should be kept in pots, so that they 
may be placed in a frame during A 
winter, and planted out in the beginning of summer in the border 
or on the rock-work ; in fact they require the same treatment as 
other alpine plants. They can only be increased by seeds.
