CEPHALOTUS (from kephalotes, headed ; in reference 
to the filaments of the stamens being capitate). ORD. 
Sawifragee. A very curious cool greenhouse herbaceous 
perennial, thriving well in a mixture of chopped living _ 
sphagnum and sandy, rough peat, well drained. It is very Ў. 
important to ensure porous material for its growth, admit-)_ 
ting a free circulation of water. A humid atmosphere in 
summer is essential; and to secure this, it is best to place à 
bell glass over the pan in which the plant is grown. In 
winter, less moisture, both at the roots and in the atmo- 
sphere, is needed. Propagated by division, before new 
growth commences; or by seeds.

elliptical and flat, and others dilated into pitchers similar to the

hairy hardy annual or perennial herbaceous plants. Flowers

Biebersteinii and tomentoswm. These are grown princi- 
pally on account of their silvery foliage. All are of very 
easy culture in ordinary garden soil, or on the rockery. 
They are readily propagated by divisions; or by cuttings, 
inserted in the open ground, and in a shady place, after 
flowering. The species enumerated below are all peren
