158 SYNOPSIS OF 



a pleasing object in the landscape. A few specimens of the 

 variety variegata (with yellow-margined leaves) are also seen 

 in gardens and in hedges. This plant certainly lives after 

 flowering ; and a new plant, growing from it, flowering perhaps 

 soon after, gives the idea that the same plant flowers more 

 than once.
