SENECI'LLUS. (A diminutive of Se- 

 necio. Nat. ord., Composites [Astera- 

 cese]. Linn., 19-Syngenesia %-Supciflua. 

 Allied to Cineraria.) 



Hardy herbaceous perennials. Seeds, but 

 more generally by divisions ; rich sandy loam, 

 or even common garden soil.

SENE'CIO. Groundsel. (From senex t 

 an old man ; naked receptacle compared 

 to a bald head. Nat. ord., Composites 

 [Asteracere]. Linn., lti-Synffent'sia 'I 

 Superflua.) 



So difficult are the species to determine, that 

 twenty-one synonyms are added to Senecio, 

 All yellow-flowered, where not otherwise spe- 

 cified. 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 elegans 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.
