Cult. The species are generally strong coarse plants, of no 

 beauty. They grow well in common garden soil, but prefer 

 peat, and a moist situation ; and they are readily increased by 

 dividing at the root in spring. All of them, except C. Cana- 

 densis, require protection in severe frosts, by covering them over 

 with haulm of other herbs, or by mulching them with horse litter. 



XLVI. CUNPLA (The name of a plant in Pliny, KOVI\T> of 

 Nicander ; supposed to be derived from caivoe, konos, a cone, be- 

 cause the flowers grow in heads resembling a cone.) Benth. lab.
