FARSETIA (named after Philip Farseti, a Venetian

species of hardy or half-hardy, branched, erect herbs or 
sub-shrubs, more or less hoary or downy. They are 
natives of the Mediterranean region, Africa, and Asia 
Minor to Northern India. Inflorescence racemose or 
spicate. Leaves entire, opposite. Most of the species 
are very pretty, and the hardy perennials are well adapted 
for growing on rockwork, borders, &c., in ordinary 
garden soil. The less hardy sorts thrive well in a com- 
post of sandy loam and peat. All are easily increased by 
seeds.
