Heli6phila, Linn. From helios, the sun, and 

 phileo, to love ; on account of the plants grow- 

 ing in places exposed to the sun. Linn. 15, 

 Nat. Or. Brassic&eem. A genus of pretty little 

 plants, mostly annuals ; they are well worthy 

 of extensive cultivation, thriving well in sandy 

 loam and peat ; cuttings of the shrubby kinds 

 strike readily in sand, under a glass, or they 

 may be increased by seeds. The annuals 

 should be sown early in spring, in pots, and 

 placed in the greenhouse or a gentle hotbed ; 

 and in May they may be planted out in the 

 open border. Synonymes : 1, H. pilosa inclsa ;

HeliOfsis, Persoon. From helios, the sun, and 

 opsis, appearance; alluding to the brilliant 

 colour of the flowers. Linn. 19, Or. 2, Nat. 

 Or. Asteracex. These are tall-growing plants, 

 well suited for the back of flower-borders, 

 where they flower beautifully in autumn. The 

 annual kinds require the same treatment as 

 those of the genus Heli&nthus ; while the her- 

 baceous kinds may be freely increased by di- 

 viding the roots. Synonymes: 1, Acmilla bup- 

 ihalmoides, Bupthdlmum scabrwm ; 2, B. heli-

Heliotr&piuM, Lwin. From Mlws, the sun, 

 and trope, twining ; the flowers are said to turn 

 towards the sun. Linn. 3, Or. 1, Nat. Or. 

 Mretictcece. Some of the plants of this genus 

 are highly valued for the fragrance of their 

 flowers, and are therefore to be met with m 



most gardens ; they succeed freely in any rich 

 light soil, arid cuttings of the shrubby kinds, 

 taken off when young, readily strike in the 

 same kind of soil. The annuals and biennials 

 require the same treatment as other hardy and 

 tender annuals and biennials. Synonymes : 1,
