a single head of flowers, which has a downy involucre. 
(Willd. Sp. Pl., iii. p. 1797.) A native of the south of 
France, which has been cultivated in Britain since 1573. It 
grows to the height of 2 ft. or 3ft., and produces its yellow 
flowers in July. It was common in gardens in Gerard’s Qj) 
time, who says it is acrid, bitter,and aromatic, and has much 
the same qualities as southernwood. It was formerly 
employed as a vermifuge, but is now disused.

Spec. Char., §c. Branches tomentose. Leaves hoary, toothed ; teeth awl- 
shaped, spreading in 4 rows. Peduncles bearing severally at the tip a single 
head of flowers, the involucre of which is glabrous. (Willd. Sp. Pl., iii. 
p- 798.) A native of the south of Europe; cultivated in Britain since 
1770; growing to the height of 13 ft. or 2 ft., and producing its yellow

» 3. S.vi‘R1ipis W. The green Santolina, or Lavender Cotton. 
Identification. Willd. Sp. P1., 3. p. 1798. ; Ait.. Hort. Kew., ed. 2. vol. 4. p..518, 
Spec. Char., $c. Branches glabrous. Leaves glabrous, toothed; teeth awl- 
shaped, straight, in 4 rows. Heads of flowers solitary on the tips of pe- 
duncles, Involucre glabrous. (Willd. Sp. Pl. iii. p. 1793.) A native of 
the south of Europe, and cultivated in Britain in 1727; growing 2 ft. or 3 ft. 
high, and flowering in July. This sort is very distinct from the common 
species, in its growing shoots, foliage, and peduncles being of a fresh green 
colour, and thus affording an obvious contrast to the hoary aspect of the 
common sort, Its leaves have, also, their segments more divaricate; and 
its heads of flowers, which are of a very pale yellow, are of greater diameter. 
It is an eligible kind of shrub for planting upon dry rockwork, in a sunny 
and sheltered situation, and, thus placed, will produce an abundance of 
flowers. Like most of the other sorts of this genus, it is rarely to be met 
with except in botanic gardens. It is, doubtless, one of the three kinds 
of S. Chamzcyparissus which were cultivated by Miller, 
and considered by him as species. (See Martyn’s Miller.) 
There are plants in the collection of the Messrs. Loddiges, 
which, from their deep green foliage, appear distinct ; but 
whether specifically so or not, we have not presumed to ‘ 
decide.
