HELICHRY'SUM. (From helios, the sun, and chrusos, 

 gold ; referring to the beauty of the flowers. Nat. ord. 

 Composites [Composite]. Linn. ig-Syngenesia, 2-Super- 

 fiua. It includes Aphelexis.) 



Many may be raised from seed ; others, such as hardy 

 and greenhouse herbaceous, by division and cuttings in 

 spring, in sandy soil, under a hand-glass ; evergreen 

 shrubs from the Cape, if small side-shoots are taken off 

 when getting firm at their base, will strike freely in sandy, 

 peaty soil, under a bell-glass ; peat and loam, three of 

 the former to one of the latter. Temp, for greenhouse 

 kinds, winter, 40 to 45. Sta'chas is the hardiest 

 shrubby kind, flourishing in a sheltered place in dry, 

 calcareous soil. Angustifo'lium, feli'num, and fru'ticans 

 are the next in point of hardiness, and probably would 

 do on a south aspect wall.
