SENECI'LLUS. (A diminutive of senecio. 

 Nat. ord., Composites [Asteraceae]. linn., 

 19-Syngenesia 2-Superftua. Allied to 

 Cineraria.) 



Hardy herbaceous perennials. Seeds, but more 

 generally by divisions ; rich, sandy loam, or even 

 common garden-soil. 



S. glau'ca (milky-green). 6. Yellow. July. 

 Siberia. 1790. 



purpura'ta (purple). Purple, June. Cape

SENE'CIO. Groundsel. (From senex> 

 an old man; naked receptacle compared 

 to a bald head. Nat. ord., Composites 

 [Asteraceae]. Linn., 19-Syngenesia 2- 

 Superflua.) 



So difficult are the species to determine, that 

 twenty-one synonymes are added to Senecio. All 

 yellow-flowered, where not otherwise specified; 

 Annuals, by seeds in the open border, and in a 

 slight hotbed ; perennials, by seed, and division 

 of the plant, and also in common garden-soil, 

 shrubby kinds, by seeds, and easily by cuttings, 

 and mostly requiring a little peat or dried leaf- 

 mould along with the soil, and the protection of a 

 cool greenhouse. The double varieties of e'legans 

 are much used in flower-gardens ; but the single 

 varieties are also very beautiful. The double 

 varieties are preserved by cuttings in winter, and 

 must be saved from damp.
