KAUFMANNIA SEMENOWII. 
K 
Kaufmannia Semenowii. See Cortusa Semenowii. 
Kelloggia galiceides has no value except for being lost in damp 
woodlands, being a climbing Rubiaceous plant with greenish-yellow 
little flowers like an Asperula, on stems of 10 inches, in thick masses. 
Kernera. See under Cochlearia, but it is hardly worth while. 
Kirengeshoma palmata, a most curious and magnificent 
Japanese oddity for rich soil in a cool, damp place. The black-dark, 
shining stems rise to some 3 or 4 feet, and are set with nobly handsome 
foliage like that of some Spiraea, green and palmate; then, in late 
August, or later still, until sometimes the frost blackens them un- 
timely, noble waxy-yellow flowers, very conspicuous and large, hover in 
large, loose clusters at the tops of the stems, and are like nothing in the 
world, except that their weirdness of shape suggests dimly some 
magnified and monstrous Impatiens. This splendid thing should be 
well planted and left alone: ultimately, when the clump is too big, 
it can be multiplied by division. 
Knautia.—None of the large Scabious are demanded by the 
rock-garden, but in its wildest outskirts room might be made for 
KK. longifolia, magnifica, and macedonica, all blooming through the 
summer, and all being tallish, thrifty plants, the first llac-flowered, 
the second rose-mauve, and the third brilliant carmine-purple. (Seed.) 
Kniphofia, the correct name of Tritoma, where all Kniphofias 
will be found. 
Keohlrauschia, a set of annual Tunicas, so far as known. 
Krynitzkia Jamesii (Eritrichium Jamesii) should be grown 
in a warm, sandy place. It is a half-shrubby, silky-leaved plant, with 
spikes of blossoms like white forget-me-nots in summer. 
Kuhnia eupatorioeides.—Narrow leaves with white hair, and 
stems of a foot or two, carrying Ageratums of cream-white flufts. 
L 
Lactuca. For all these see under Mulgedium. 
Lagénophora, a small family of pretty little stars, replacing 
the Daisy in the temperate Antarctic regions, and making no bad sub- 
stitutes. They are not specially showy, and their flowers have no golden 
eye, and consist only of a fuzz of white rays. None the less they have
