HYSSO'PUS. Hyssop. (Tssopus of Dios- 

 corides, but certainly not the same plant. 

 Nat. ord., Llpworts [Lamiacese]. Linn., 

 I-Didynamia 1-Gymnospermia.) 



Hardy, blue - flowered evergreens. Sow in 

 March or April ; propagate by dividing the plant 

 at the same time, or in September ; also, by stout 

 cuttings at a similar period ; the varieties are pro- 

 pagated by cuttings, and, if rare, require a hand- 

 "ight over them ; dry, light soil. The plant is not 

 only aromatic, but the flowers are beautiful.

 ancient name of "Spain, where the species 

 abounds. Nat. ord., Crucifers [Brassi- 

 caceae]. Linn., 15-Tetradynamia. Allied 

 to Thlaspi.) 



All white-flowered, except where otherwise spe- 

 cified. Annuals and biennials, by seeds in March 

 and April ; most of the annuals, and especially 

 the umbella'ta group, are very hardy, and if sown 

 in autumn will generally stand the winter, and 

 bloom in April and May in consequence. The 

 shrubby evergreen group, by seeds, but chiefly by 

 cuttings after flowering, under a hand-light, in a 

 shady corner, in summer. I. sempervi'rens may 

 be taken as a type of this group, and whether in 

 a clump, by the side of borders, or hanging over 

 knolls and rock-works, its masses of white flowers 

 are really beautiful.
