328 APPENDIX. 



continues to flower all the summer. It is generally culti- 

 vated in pots of light sandy soil, and makes a splendid 

 appearance, whilst it is in bloom. 



It will succeed well on a dry bank, or in any common 

 border in the flower garden, where it does not get much 

 moisture. Young cuttings root freely under hand-glasses 

 if planted in the autumn. 



7. HELIANTHEMUM POLYGAL&FOLIUM, Milkwort- 



leavcd Sun Rose. 



This plant will require to be kept in a cool part of the 

 greenhouse, or in a frame in frosty weather, though it will 

 be well to try it in the open ground, putting a mat over 

 it in winter. 



It thrives well in a mixture of turfy loam, peat and 

 sand. It may be increased by young shoots taken off at a 

 joint, and planted under hand-glasses, or it may be in- 

 creased from seeds. 



It is a native of the Brazils. 



8. CISTUS LAXUS, Broad-waved-leaved Rock Rose. 



This plant is hardy, only requiring a slight protection in 

 very severe weather, thriving well in common garden soil, 

 so as it is not too wet. It may also be grown in pots, 

 which can be more readily secured from frost, and may 

 then be planted in the border in the spring. If in pots, 

 the best soil is an equal mixture of light loam and peat. 



Young shoots taken off at a joint, and planted under 

 hand-glasses in autumn will strike root readily ; it may 

 also be increased by layers or seeds. 



Its native place is at present unknown.
