ORD. Orassulacew. A small genus (three species) of 
exceedingly dwarf and pretty, greenhouse, perennial, tufted 
herbs, natives of the Canary Islands and Morocco. Flowers 
purple or orange, small, on slender pedicels; petals six to 
twelve, linear or lanceolate; peduncles slender, erect, 
one to many-flowered, cymose or racemose. Leaves fleshy, 
rosulate, at the tips of the branchlets, or on elongated 
branches, opposite or alternate, clavate or cylindrical- 
ovoid. Stems filiform, dichotomous, creeping. For cul- 
ture, see Crassula.

MONARDA (named after Nicolas Monarda, or 
Monardes, 1493-1588, a physician and botanist of 
Seville). Horse Mint, ORD. Labiate. A genus com- 
prising six or seven species of very ornamental hardy 
herbaceous perennials, inhabiting North America. 
Flowers in close heads or whorls, surrounded by 
bracts; corolla long and slender, deeply bilabiate. 
Leaves simple, toothed. The species are of very easy 
culture in ordinary soil, and in any position but a too 
shady one. Monardas may be readily increased in 
autumn by division of the roots. They have a more 
telling effect when planted in masses, than as small 
specimens, in mixed borders.
