Cult. The species of this genus will grow under any circum- 
stances. They are mostly annuals, and require common treat- 
ment. S. frutéscens and S. angustifolia, will grow well in a 
mixture of sand, loam, and peat, and ripened cuttings of them 
will strike root freely if planted under a hand-glass, or they may 
be increased by seeds. None of the species are worth cultivat- 
ing, except in general collections, or in botanic gardens.
