Cult. This is a genus of trifling plants with small yellow 
flowers ; therefore they are not worth cultivating, except in 
botanic gardens. They will thrive best in a light sandy soil, and 
cuttings of the shrubby kinds will readily root in sand, under a 
hand-glass, in a moderate heat. The annual species require to 
be sown on a hot-bed in spring, and when the plants are of 
sufficient size they should be potted off into separate pots, and 
then placed in the greenhouse or stove, or they may be planted 
out in the open border in a warm sheltered situation about the 
middle of May, where they will probably ripen seed.

Cult. This plant will thrive in a mixture of loam and peat ; 
and young cuttings will root in sand under a hand-glass, in heat. 
VII. TRIUMFE’TTA (in honour of John Baptist Trium- 
fetti, an Italian botanist, author of observations on the vegeta- 
tion of plants; died 1707. It must also distinguish Lelius 
Triumfetti his brother, once professor of botany at Rome.) 
Lin. gen. no. 600. D. C. prod. 1. p. 506. 
Lin. syst. Deca-Polydndria, Monogynia. Calyx 5-sepalled, 
blunt, or usually with a point just under the apex. Petals 5, 
with the claws ciliated, rarely wanting. Stamens 10-30, free, 
girded by a narrow urceolus at the base. Glands 5 on the 
receptacle, opposite the petals. Ovary roundish. Style 1, 2- 
5-toothed at the apex. Carpels 2-5, more or less closely joined 
into a single fruit, which is beset with hooked prickles. Seeds 1 
or 2 in each cell or carpel, hairy. Embryo straight. Shrubs, 
rarely herbs, with simple or 3-lobed leaves, for the most part 
3-nerved at the base. Peduncles solitary, axillary, 2-3-flowered, 
but usually crowded, frequently joined at the base, commonly 
opposite the leaves, or disposed in clustered interrupted racemes 
on the tops of the branches. Corolla yellow. Pili stellate.
