CHJENOSTOMA (from chaino, to gape, and 

 stoma, a mouth ; in reference to the wide throat of 

 the corolla). ORD. Scrophularinea:. Very pretty 

 greenhouse herbs or under-shrnbs. Flowers axillary 

 or racemose, on longish pedicels. Leaves nearly all 

 opposite, toothed, rarely quite entire. They are of 

 easy culture in ordinary garden soil. Seeds should 

 be sown thinly in a hotbed, in March; and when 

 the seedlings are large enough to handle, they should 

 be pricked out thinly, and transferred to the flower 

 garden, in May, where they will prove very orna- 

 mental throughout the summer. Cuttings may bo 

 made in autumn, and placed in a greenhouse or cold 

 pit during the winter.
