ANDRO'SACE. (From ana; a man, 

 and sakos, buckler ; in reference to the 

 resemblance of the anther to an an- 

 cient buckler. Nat. ord., Primeworts 

 [PrimulaceaB]. Linn., 5-Fctitanflria 1- 

 monogynia). A favourite family of small 

 alpine plants. All do best, though hardy, 

 grown in pots in peat and sandy loam, 

 and carefully watered ; increased by 

 seeds, and the perennials by cuttings or 

 root division. All are interesting plants 

 for the rock work in summer, and in win- 

 ter protected in frame.
