 ately tomentose ; flowers in dense heads ; bracteas ovate, co- 

 loured. TJf. H. Native of Spain, on Sierra Nevada, at a place

iSW-coloured-flowered Sheeps' Scabious. PI. prostrate. 



Cult. The species of Jaslone are all very elegant while in 

 blossom, and they are, therefore, well fitted for decorating the 

 front of flower-borders and rock- work. They grow best in light 

 soil, and are readily increased by parting at the root, by seed, 

 or by cuttings. Plants of all the kinds should be kept in pots, 

 so as to be placed under shelter in severe weather in winter, or 

 else they are liable to be killed, and the species lost to the 

 gardens.
