No, 576. 
SALVIA CHAMZDRYOIDES. 
Class. Order. 
DIANDRIA MONOGYNIA. 
This was introduced about 1795 from 
Mexico, of which it is a native. It is 
shrubby, and dwarf in its growth, not often 
exceeding two feet in height, with several 
straggling branches. The flowers, which 
are eminently beautiful, are produced in the 
summer, and are of long duration. 
It may be increased by cuttings, and 
kept in the greenhouse in winter, at which 
season the leaves usually fall off, and are 
renewed early in the spring. The soil 
should be light loam, with a rather sparing 
supply of water, especially in cool weather.
