A SELECTION OF 



CISTINEJE," OR ROCK ROSE.* 



This plant belongs to the 13th Class, and the order " Polyandria 

 Monogynia." 



The " Helianthus,'* or the Sun Rose, introduced into this work, 

 belongs to the 19th Class, and the order " Syngenesia Frustranea." 



1 . HELIANTHEMUM ALPESTRE, Alpine Sun Rose. 



AN elegant little species, well adapted for ornamenting 

 rock work, or for growing at the front of the flower 

 borders, where its lively blossoms, which continue in suc- 

 cession for a considerable time, make a handsome ap- 

 pearance. 



It is a native of various parts of Europe, growing in 

 rocky mountainous situations. 



It succeeds well in small pots, planted in a mixture of 

 light sandy loam and peat. Cuttings will strike root 

 readily, if taken off the young wood as soon as properly 

 ripened, and planted under a hand-glass, and may be also 

 increased from seeds which sometimes ripen. 



* We are indebted for this selection to Mr. Sweet's beautiful Work 

 on this family, before alluded to.
