KOCHIA SCOPARIA VAR. TRICO- 

 PHYLLA. 



A transatlantic contemporary 



("Horticultiire") enquires for light on 

 the naming of Kochia scoparia, which 

 name, it discovers, has been suppressed 

 by European firms in place of trico- 

 phylla. The reason of the change, 

 we believe, is I hat K. scoparia was 

 found, upon investigation, to be a tall, 

 lax growing plant with much darker 

 foliage than the new, columnar, bright 

 green subject which we first heard of 

 as K. scoparia. The name tricophylla 

 was therefore apiiended to mark a va- 

 rietal distinction. — Journal of Horti- 

 culture.
