SAXOFRIDERICIA. 



A small genus (ord. Rapateaceae) of strong- 

 growing stove sub-aquatic herbs from Guiana and 

 Northern Brazil. Propagation, by root division in 

 spring. Soil, loam and peat in equal parts. 



Principal Species : 



subcordata, 1', br., red, spiny petioles (syn. 

 Kapatea pandanoides). 



SCABIOSA. (SCABIOUS.) 



A genus of hardy annual or perennial herbs 

 (ord. Dipsaceas). A good many are very orna- 

 mental in the flower garden in borders or beds, 

 and some of the dvvarfer species are beautiful 

 Alpines for the rock garden. The varieties of 

 atropurpurea are among the most useful annuals 

 for the garden or for cutting. Caucasica is a very 

 ornamental perennial. The former, if sown in 

 summer and grown in pots in a cold frame, are useful 

 in winter. Propagation, by seeds sown in spring 

 under glass, or in April or May in the open borders ; 

 the perennials by division. Ordinary garden soil ; 

 caucasica and the smaller Alpines like one of a 

 light character.
