ONONIS FRUTICOSA. 
Class, Order. 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This is a native of the south of France, 
and was cultivated by Miller in 1748. It is 
a hardy shrub, of dwarf and slow growth, 
seldom exceeding a foot in height, with 
numerous short spreading branches. Its 
elegant flowers come out in succession 
through the summer; they are sometimes 
followed by ripe seeds, by which alone it 
can be increased. А light and rather dry 
soil is most suitable to it, and in the full 
ground, as it does not seem to thrive ina 
pot.
