1900 SUPPLEMENT—RECENT INTRODUCTIONS, &C. 685 
STACHYCHRYSUM. A synonym of Adenan- 
thera (which see). 
STACHYS. To the species described on pp. 482-3, 
Vol. III., the following should be added: 
S. affinis (related). A synonym of S. tuberifera. 
S. Betonica alba (white). This is a white variety of the 
type. 
S. chrysantha (yellow-flowered). . lemon-yellow; whorls 
four- to six-flowered, in rather loose spikes. /. shortly petiolate, 
roundish-ovate, slightly crenate. Greece, 1897, A dwarf, 
half-hardy, tufted, many-stemmed, densely woolly perennial. 
S. lavandulefolia (Lavender-leaved). . rose-purple, pubescent 
outside ; whorls two- to six-flowered. 7. rather obtuse, softly 
canescent; cauline ones petiolate, oblong-lanceolate, entire, 
narrowed at both ends; floral ones sessile, ovate-lanceolate. 
Armenia, &e A dwarf, procumbent under-shrub. 
S. nivea (snowy). jl. white, sessile; calyx snow-white ; whorls 
many, four- to six-flowered; raceme often 6in. long. June and 
July. 7. sub-sessile, entire, the lower ones oblong, obtuse, 
narrowed at base, the medium ones lin. to 14in. long, the floral 
ones lanceolate. Branches 6in. to 12in. long, erect. Caucasus, 
1820. A densely woolly-tomentose, much-branched, hardy 
under-shrub, SYN. Betonica nivea. 
S. sibirica is, according to the Kew authorities, a form of 
S. germanica, 
S. Sieboldi (Siebold’s). A synonym of S. tuberifera. 
S. tuberifera (tuber-bearing). Chinese or Japanese Artichoke ; 
Crosnes. jl. pink, spicate, rarely produced. J. ovate, acute, 
reticulated, harsh. Ah. lft. to 1sft. China and Japan, 1885. 
In this species the tubers, which are used as a vegetable, are 
really the thickened extremities of the underground branches, 
and are marked by buds or eyes at the nodes, as in Potatoes. 
They are produced in great profusion and bear a considerable 
resemblance to the Fir-apple or Asparagus Potato. Each 
tuber has a bud at the end, and this curves upwards to form a 
new shoot. (G. C. 1888, iii., pp. 13, 16, f. 1.) SyNs. S. afinis, 
S. Sieboldi. For culture, see Crosnes. 
S. tubifera. Another spelling of S. tuberifera. 
STACHYTARPHETA. 5%. orwbica is the correct 
name of S. aristata; S. cayennensis should be spelt 
S. cajanensis ; S. jamaicensis is properly called S. indica ; 
and S. wrticifolia is synonymous with S. indica. 
STAGANOSPORA. See Spheropside. 
STAG-HEADED. A term applied to trees which 
are dying at the top. 
STANDARDS. A term applied to many trees and 
shrubs grown on a clear stem, as, for instance, Apples, 
Pears, Plums, Cherries, Damsons, &c., amongst fruit 
trees. The distance apart at which these trees should be 
planted must be determined by the character of the soil 
and the varieties. If the soil is deep and fertile, all 
the above trees may be put 40ft. apart each way; but 
if it is of moderate quality, and the varieties are compact 
in habit, 30ft. apart will be sufficient. Half-Standards 
are trees with stems 3ft. or 4ft. long, and planted from 15ft. 
to 20ft. apart. This class of tree finds considerable favour 
amongst market growers, as the trees come into bearing 
more rapidly than the full Standards, and the trees are 
less exposed to gales, while the fruit is more easily 
gathered. Amongst many other trees and plants grown 
as Standards are Gooseberries grafted on Ribes aurea, 
Currants, Roses, Hollies, Heliotrope, Pelargoniums, &c.

STANGERIA. S. Katzeri and S. schizodon are now 
regarded as distinct species and not as forms of S. para- 
doxa.
