 genus are pretty, others merely ornamental, 

 while some are' wholly uninteresting; their

 they grow in almost any soil, and are increased 

 reaciily from divisions, cuttings, and seeds. A. 

 chminsis, and some other species, yield the 

 moxa of China, a substance used as a cautery,

 modic ; and the leaves of other species are 

 esteemed a valuable stomachic medicine. Sy-
