LY'CHNIS. (From luchnos, a lamp ; referring to the 

 brilliancy of the flowers. Nat. ord. Cloveworts [Caryo- 

 phyllaceae]. Linn. lo-Decandria, ^-Pentagynia.) 



The hardy herbaceous are chiefly cultivated ; seed, 

 division, and cuttings under a hand-light of the young 

 shoots, as growth commences, in spring. Small side- 



shoots may be obtained from flowering stems, but they 

 dp not answer so well ; rich, sandy loam. They require 

 dividing often in spring, and fresh soil to grow in. Grandi- 

 flo'ra requires protection in a cold pit in winter ; double 

 flowers require more attention in changing the soil than 

 single ones.
