 Lychnis, Be Candolle . From lychnos, a lamp ; 

 on account of the brilliancy of the flowers of 

 most of the species. Linn. 10, Or. 5, Or. Nat. 

 Caryopliyllaeece . An extremely beautiful genus 

 of plants, well meriting extensive cultivation 

 for the brilliancy of their flowers. Among the 

 most showy and esteemed of the border flowers, 

 is L.. Chaleed6niea, the double varieties of 

 which require some care to prevent them from- 

 returning to a single state. L. fUXgens and 

 grandiflora are truly beautiful ; the latter will 

 grow and flower well if planted out in the open 

 border in spring, but it must be taken up in 

 autumu, or the frost will kill it. They all 

 grow freely in light rich loamy soil ; but they 

 must be frequently divided, or they will dwin- 

 dle away, and the best time to do this is early 

 in spring. The seed of the annual species has 

 only to be sown in the open border in spring. 

 L. Ccdi Rbsa is very handsome. Synonymes :

Lycium, Linn. From lycion, a name given by 

 Dioscorides to a thorny shrub, and applied to 

 this genus because of its containing some 

 thorny shrubs. Linn. 5, Or. 1, Nat. Or. So- 

 lanaeece. The stove and greenhouse kinds re- 

 quire the same treatment as other similar 

 plants, i. a/rum, and some others of the 

 Cape species, thrive and flower well against a 

 south or west wall, and are very handsome 

 when in flower. The hardy species are admi- 

 rably suited for training against trellis-work, 

 or walls, or for covering arbours. They are all 

 readily increased by cuttings of the ripened 

 wood planted in sand, under a glass. Syno-
