Aloysia, 
Alopsia citriodora. Narurat Orver: Verbenacee —Vervain Family. 
% ESERVING of all praise is the Aloysia, sometimes called 
ie Lemon Verbena. It is from Paraguay, and received its 
“ name in honor of Queen Mary Louisa, of Spain, the mother 
Ye of Ferdinand VII. It is cultivated as a greenhouse shrub, 
for the aromatic odor of its delicate leaves, the least touch of 
2 which yields the delightful fragrance of the lemon. Frequently it is 
NIK placed in the ground in summer, and in a dry cellar in winter. It 
.* should be trimmed back in the spring before the leaf buds begin to 
* start, as otherwise it is inclined to a straggling growth. The flowers 
are small, appearing in spikes. They seldom bloom in this latitude. 
The young branches are used by florists in bouquets.

Stoop’d down serene, and wrote them in the dust.

And the fields gave no verdure for fear of the storm.
